On New Year's Eve, from December 26 to 31, the "Astana Ballet" Theatre, together with the Kazakh Academy of Choreography, invites the youngest art lovers and their parents to a bright New Year's performance - "The Nutcracker".
Once in the theater on the eve of the holiday, you see not only a fairy tale, but also become part of a magical action yourself: a joyful meeting with the heroes of the performance and the New Year's photo zone are waiting for the spectators.
Stunning music by Tchaikovsky will be performed by the orchestra under the direction of maestro Arman Urazgaliyev. According to the conductor, "The Nutcracker" is the most frequently performed performance in the whole world, loved by both adults and children for its magical atmosphere, accessible and understandable plot.
“Tchaikovsky brought integrity and drama to ballet music when everything is inextricably linked. Three of his works have become classics: "Swan Lake", "Sleeping Beauty" and "The Nutcracker" - his final ballet. First of all, for me, as a conductor, it is important to give the audience a festive mood so that after the performance they have these lofty feelings. Secondly, to accurately convey the musical text of the composer performed by our orchestra", - said conductor Arman Urazgaliyev.
There are dozens of versions of this ballet in the world, of which the editorial board of Vasily Vainonen, who goes to the "Astana Ballet", is considered the most magical and expressive. Spectators are attracted by the romantic images of the New Year tree, the country of snowflakes, the kingdom of sweets and gifts. Such a performance has been decorating the stage of the Mariinsky Theater for 85 years. In Nur-Sultan, the ballet in three acts will be staged by the People's Artist of the Russian Federation, Rector of the Kazakh Academy of Choreography Altynay Asylmuratova.
The performance will be attended by over 150 students of the Academy, teachers and 40 theater artists. This year, a new generation of students will debut on the Moscow stage, and their future colleagues - artists of the "Astana Ballet" Theater will again try on the images of Maria, The Nutcracker and Drosselmeir.
Of course, "The Nutcracker" is a triumph of goodness and a happy ending, but you still have to get ahead of the heroes. The performance will refresh the brightest feelings, and also - children will surely fall in love with it. After all, it is about miracles that happen.
