The Mariinsky Theatre of St. Petersburg is one of the most prestigious opera and ballet companies in the world. Under the direction of Valery Gergiev it stands for the skilful combination of tradition and modernity. The Nutcracker, Tchaikovsky‘s eternal classic, in the choreography by Wassili Vainonen, is a colourful and sensuous dance production, dance in the highest perfection and mastery of modern technology.

This successful production is recorded again exclusively for EuroArts as a 3D spectacle. The film, produced in 3D, creates spectacular images of this great ballet production for the viewer. The innovative 3D technology allows an entirely new perspective, every moviegoer can experience the ballet from the front row, yes: right on the stage. Under the direction of Andreas Morell, this historically unique Nutcracker promises to be a breathtaking experience.
