In what has become an annual NJPAC tradition, the State Ballet Theater of Ukraine returns with the beloved holiday favorite, ‘The Nutcracker’ (njpac.org/event/the-nutcracker-the-state-ballet-theatre-of-ukraine). Set to Tchaikovsky’s classic score and featuring brand new choreography and productions by Andrey Litvinov, the State Ballet Theater of Ukraine premiered this revised version of “The Nutcracker” to a full house in Dnipro, Ukraine, on December 30-31, 2020. Choreography and design lasted for many months with the pandemic constantly disrupting the process. Fortunately, this new interpretation of a timeless classic still managed to be completed.
