The ballet for the season, The Nutcracker, performed by the world-famous Bolshoi Ballet, is screening tomorrow in Valletta.
On Christmas Eve, Marie’s wooden nutcracker doll transforms into a beautiful prince who takes her on a magical journey. Before they leave, they must confront the Mouse King whose army is threatening Marie.
Based on the story The Nutcracker and the King of Mice by Ernst Theodor Hoffmann, revised by Alexander Dumas and originally choreographed by Marius Petipa, this version is reinterpreted and restaged by Yuri Grigorovich.
■ The performance is being screened tomorrow at St James Cavalier in Valletta at 4pm with a repeat on December 23 at 7pm. It is suitable for all ages. Spazju Kreattiv are also offering patrons the opportunity to purchase block tickets for the entire Bolshoi programme which runs until April. For more information, visit http://kreattivita.org .
