NOTES ON THE PERFORMANCE
Inaugurating the new season with a national première and debut for the La Scala Ballet, George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker® is one of the most famous renditions of Tchaikovsky's masterpiece. For this extraordinary ballet, whose exciting and evocative scenes are sure to delight the public, La Scala has commissioned new costumes and sets by Margherita Palli. Transporting us between the worlds of reality and fantasy in full Christmas spirit, the wonderful choreography of this two-act ballet will join the classics of the La Scala repertoire. Performances will be conducted by Michail Jurowski, a specialist in Russian repertoire.
