The Nutcracker Tchaikovsky

With The Nutcracker from 1892, Tchaikovsky wrote one of the most renowned ballets in the repertoire. The Russian Romantic masterfully succeeded in capturing the tender, naive dream world of the child in the most wonderful melodies. Enchanting passages such as the March, Flower Waltz or the Dance of the Sugar Fairy excite everyone's imagination.
Versatile Russian conductor Vasily Petrenko conducts orchestras around the world. As chief conductor of London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Petrenko has specialized in the great classical repertoire. This evening, together with the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and the National Children's Choir, Petrenko erects an unforgettable Christmas monument to the disarming splendor of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker.
