Russian State Ballet performs "The Nutcracker"

The Classic Center Theatre

The Nutcracker is the perennial favorite of generations of children and “children at heart.” The treasured holiday adventure follows a little girl’s journey through a fantasy world of fairies, princes, toy soldiers, and an army of mice. Thrill to the same authentic Russian choreography that is performed in Moscow by the famous Bolshoi Ballet. Set to Tchaikovsky’s beloved music, including “Waltz of the Flowers," "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,” and “Waltz of the Snowflakes,” the annual visit of the Russian State Ballet has become a tradition of the Athens holiday season.

Presented in cooperation with The Classic Center.
