Background |
Enjoy a heartwarming ballet offered by NNTT at the end
of the year.
This year, NNTT will present The Nutcracker, performed at theatres
worldwide at Christmas time, which has become a special feature of
this particular season. The fantastic world that unfolds with music
by Tchaikovsky has fascinated many people young and old.
NNTT included this ballet in its repertoire earlier than any other
work, and it was highly acclaimed at each performance. It is a dream-like
ballet that can be enjoyed even by those who are seeing ballet for
the first time.
<Synopsis>
On Christmas Eve, a young girl named Masha is attracted for some inexplicable
reason to an ugly nutcracker doll that was given to her by her uncle
Drosselmeyer as a Christmas present. Late at night, the room becomes
filled with an army of mice, which fight against toy soldiers under
the command of the nutcracker. Masha's last-minute inspiration leads
the nutcracker to victory, and the nutcracker transforms himself into
a handsome prince, inviting Masha to the Land of Sweets···
