Le chef-d’œuvre de la danse classique dansé par une des plus belles compagnies de tradition.
CASSE-NOISETTE fait partie de ces œuvres magiques dont chacun a entendu parler mais que peu ont eu l’occasion de voir un jour sur scène. L’un des joyaux du répertoire classique, CASSE-NOISETTE, est l’un des ballets les plus dansés à travers le monde.

Conte de Noël né de l’imagination d’Hoffmann et revisité par Alexandre Dumas, c’est le chorégraphe Marius Petipa qui décide d’en faire un ballet féerique, mêlant fantastique et réalité, sur la musique enthousiasmante de Tchaïkowski. Le ballet est présenté pour la première fois au public le 17 décembre 1892 au Théâtre Marynski à Saint-Petersbourg.

Pour rappel, l’action commence à la veille de Noël. Une petite fille, Clara, reçoit en cadeau un casse-noisettes que les autres enfants ne tardent pas à casser. La nuit, Clara se réveille et est guidée par le casse-noisettes dans un monde étrange et féérique…
Un pur moment de bonheur et joie idéal en cette période de fin d’année !

Le Moscow City Ballet a vu passer les plus grands maîtres de ballet ainsi que les plus célèbres étoiles des Ballets Russes.
Un must !
