(POCATELLO, ID) – It’s just about that time to begin pulling your gloves out of the closet, dusting off your favorite wrapping paper and preparing to warm up with a glass of hot cocoa. Yes, the winter is here and Christmas looks even better with Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker coming to town.
With exquisite classical ballet dancing, beautiful handcrafted backdrops and world-renowned life sized puppets, this holiday classic is sure to mesmerize and captivate audiences. This year the Moscow Ballet will present its Great Russian Nutcracker at Pocatello’s Jensen Grand Concert Hall in the Stephens Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 at 7:30PM and Wednesday, November 25th, 2009 at 7:30PM. Tickets are currently on sale now and can be purchased by visiting HYPERLINK "http://www.nutcracker.com" www.nutcracker.com or by calling the Stephens Performing Arts Box Office at (208) 282-3595.
The Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker is particularly exciting this year not only because several new characters have been added, but the world renowned puppets have been revived and the hand painted backdrops have been rejuvenated.
The West Coast Tour stars principal artists Akzhol Mussakhanov and Ekaterina Bortykova as the Prince and Masha. Akzhol Mussakhanov is a 2001 graduate of the State Choreographic School of Kazakhstan. He has danced for the State Opera and Ballet Theatre in Odessa, Ukraine, and has been a soloist at the State Opera and Ballet Theatre of Tatarstan in Kazan, Russia.
Acclaimed for beautiful dancing and elegant costumes, critics rave that Anatoli Emelianov’s Great Russian Nutcracker is “flawless,” “breathtaking” and “dazzling.” Whimsical and imaginative storytelling blend with the richness of Russian classical ballet to make the Great Russian Nutcracker a memorable holiday treat for everyone.
If you’re looking for a special event to share with friends and family, I definitely recommend attending the Great Russian Nutcracker performance in your area. It will truly bring the spirit of the holiday season into your heart.
We look forward to seeing you at the show!
