Clara and the prince in Nutcracker

Moscow City Ballet returns to Manchester Palace Theatre from January 14-16, with The Nutcracker.

The company’s full-scale ballet classic emphasises the fact that Russian ‘big story’ ballets combine artistry, technique, narrative and live music—a true dancing experience highlighting the dexterity and grace of principal ballerinas Alevtina Lapshina and Liliya Oryekhova.

The Nutcracker is staged in all of its original splendour with some of the world’s finest dancers.
