The National Centre RUSSIA hosted the grand premiere of a new version of the ballet "The Nutcracker." Its distinguishing feature is modern multimedia sets. Thanks to special effects and animation, the classic production has taken on a new light. The festive premiere was attended by choreographer and teacher, soloist of the Bolshoi Theatre Ballet from 1979 to 1997, Merited Artist of the RSFSR, and People's Artist of Russia, Alexander Vetrov.

"When we say New Year, we immediately think of the New Year tree, Ded Moroz, and, of course, the ballet 'The Nutcracker.' Therefore, I congratulate both children and their parents who came to this wonderful performance. It is performed by outstanding artists, particularly those from the Bolshoi Theatre Ballet. And special thanks go to the National Centre RUSSIA for organizing all this. The performance is simply remarkable — with multimedia sets, the likes of which cannot be seen anywhere else," shared Alexander Vetrov.

The first viewers have already had the chance to enjoy the performance and were delighted by what they saw. Guests of the National Centre noted the multimedia component, the dynamic storyline, and the intriguing ending — the finale of the production turned out to be a real surprise.

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.
