The festive premiere of the ballet "The Nutcracker" with multimedia sets took place at the National Centre RUSSIA on December 29. Guests were captivated by the vibrant combination of classical ballet and modern animation with special effects. The new production and the efforts of the National Centre were highly praised by the Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council, Konstantin Kosachev.

The production at the National Centre RUSSIA retains everything best about "The Nutcracker": Tchaikovsky's magnificent music and the classical traditions of Russian ballet, while introducing a radically new approach to stage design. Static sets have been replaced with multimedia elements, allowing the story to come to life, making the narrative more dynamic, and the performance truly captivating.

"I am very pleased that there is now another interpretation of 'The Nutcracker,' another take on the classics in a more modern execution. This production will remain in the hearts and souls of the audience for a long time; it fulfills the most genuine expectations of a New Year miracle," noted Konstantin Kosachev.

The Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council also thanked the National Centre RUSSIA for supporting this unique project, which provides more people with the opportunity to see the legendary ballet. After all, during the New Year season, attending "The Nutcracker" often becomes a challenge.

"It is important to find new stages and other opportunities to bring joy to the audience, to bring joy to people. To those who came here to once again experience the incredible New Year’s fairy tale and realize that there is indeed a place for miracles in life — you just have to believe. I would like to sincerely thank the creators of this miracle, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the National Centre RUSSIA," concluded Konstantin Kosachev.

The National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA EXPO and to showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a permanent basis. Federal government agencies, state companies, corporations, and regions take part in the Centre’s work.

The National Centre RUSSIA is located at 14 Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Moscow. The Centre is open from 10:00 to 20:00 every day except Monday.
