Tchaikovsky's classic ballet has for generation's enchanted audiences with its spectacular performance of music and dance. It is based on the story ‘The Nutcracker and the King of Mice' by E. T. A. Hoffman, which follows the adventures of a young girl, Marie. Marie, who is given a Nutcracker doll for Christmas, enters a dreamlike land of magic where she soon discovers her Nutcracker prince and dances with beautiful snowflakes. Both children and adults cannot help but be captivated by Marie's miraculous adventures.

The academy was established in 1928, through its experience and professional curriculum it teaches enthusiastic young dancers, many of whom are graduates of the Saint Petersburg school and soloists of the Mariinsky Theatre.

Many of their young artists have won prizes and diplomas in famous international ballet competitions in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Varna, Luxemburg and Helsinki.

The ballet is brought to life by 45 young artists. With their hard-work and experience, it will prove to be an unforgettable performance. Their dedication to their dance will be admired by ballet lovers, while the simple story of the Nutcracker will captivate children.
