The Nutcracker is a two-act ballet, originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov with a score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

The Russian National Ballet was founded in 1989, when the legendary soloist of the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, Sergey Radchenko, launched his project to create a new ballet company within the framework of Russian classical ballet. The main dancers from all over Russia meet under the direction of Radchenko giving rise to a great company that stages new productions of timeless classics such as "Giselle", "Don Quixote", "Paquita" and "Carmen".
