The story tells of little Marie who dreams of a real Christmas present, but instead she gets a nutcracker in the form of a soldier in a beautiful uniform. The dream come true after all – while sleeping Marie is in a magic kingdom where she dances in the arms of her Prince Nutcracker. She experiences wonderful adventures, meets a king and a queen, mice and a whole army of tin soldiers. Her dolls show charming dances from Spain, China, Russia, France, and at the end they all dance a happy final waltz.

Since its first performance in 1869 at the Moscow Bolshoi Theater till now Don Quixote has been among the most popular paragons of classical dance. In it the dialogue between the Spanish folk dance art and classical ballet techniques reach its climax.
The production is the result of the creative cooperation with the State Theater for Opera and Ballet in Krasnoyarsk. Choreographer Sergei Bobrov has largely contributed to that cooperation.
