The Elysium of love, family and togetherness will be celebrated this Sunday at Palace Cineplex, with the beloved Bolshoi Ballet’s The Nutcracker. This year marks 51 years since the premiere of The Nutcracker at the Bolshoi Theatre.
The ballet’s success is owing to the genius behind the production, Yuri Grigorovich who is also the living symbol of the Bolshoi. He created the ballet, with legendary dancers Ekatarina Maximova and Vladimir Vasiliev in the roles of Marie and the Prince, two years after he became artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet. The ballet’s acrobatic leaps and breathtaking lifts transformed the production from being a children’s tale to a philosophical parable. The 91-year-old choreographer, has received several honours and distinctions for his invaluable contributions to the Arts and people of the Soviet Union. Among the other prestigious awards in his catalogue are: the Order of Lenin (highest civilian decoration of the Soviet Union), Order of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria (1st class), Order of Merit for the Fatherland and Order of the science and art of Egypt.
choreography is masterfully delivered by the Bolshoi Principals, Soloists and Corps de Ballet. Marie is danced beautifully by Kristina Kretova. Ivan Vasiliev – best known for his portrayal of strong heroic roles such as Spartacus plays the prince and The Corps de Ballet stunningly dances completing the ensemble pieces.
