Enhanced by magnificent costumes made at the Mariinsky (Kirov) Ballet in St. Petersburg together with the glorious music of Tchaikovsky, CCB’s Nutcracker promises to be a thrilling spectacle of sumptuous dance delights.
This production by Cork City Ballet with choreography by Yury Demakov from the Bolshoi Ballet will feature the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince (Russian ballet star Akzhol Mussakhanov), principals, soloists, and a full corps de ballet in this seasonal classic for the entire family.
