Called “A Christmas tale from a faraway Land of Snow and Ice” by New York Times Dance Critic Brian Seibert in 2014, Moscow Ballet's principal dancers and production values keep raising the ante for a performance experience that engage audiences of all ages in small towns to top demographic markets. Award-winning principal dancers Ekaterina Bortiakova and Akzhol Mussakhanov, hailing from one of the world's best ballet academies, deliver flawless performances.  “Bortiakova's technical prowess, especially in her footwork and turns, was…truly great,” Cleveland Plain Dealer, 2014, and “Moscow Ballet's four-star performance…takes it up a notch and inspires awe,” Minneapolis Twin Cities Daily Planet, 2014. New in 2015 are set designs by Art Directors' Guild multi-award winner Carl Sprague, who has worked in the art department of more than 30 films, with a combined total of 22 Oscar wins, including best picture for “12 Years a Slave” and best production design for 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'. In addition Russian theatrical design meets American technology skill in Act I's Party Scene in the new magical Grandfather Clock. John Creech, American Prop Master for over a generation, is credited for creations from extravagant Fashion Week run-ways to ballet and Broadway stages. The 10 foot tall magical clock features a sculpted 3 ft tall owl whose wings open to a 5ft span and eyes light up as the clock strikes. Russian Designer Valentin Fedorov, of Chibaksari Opera House and graduate of Bolshoi Theater Design School, created Moscow Ballet's fanciful 10” tall animal puppets, backdrops with 3-d effect and more. New costumes for Act I designed by Resident Designer Arthur Oliver, known for his work nationally and at Shakespeare & Company, are created by hand in St Petersburg by one of the world's oldest theatrical shops.  Moscow Ballet's Christmas production of the Great Russian Nutcracker will be in New York City at Kings Theater Saturday December 5, 3:00pmmatinee.
