On Christmas Eve, a young girl has a dream, and behind what seems to be a tale for children slowly emerges a danced initiatory journey. And while children revel in Drosselmeyer’s magic tricks and enjoy a good scare with the apparition of the Mouse King, the adults notice all the finesse that pervades this narrative and admire the virtuosity of the choreography. A first-class company, the Ballet Company of the National Opera of Ukraine has toured all around the world winning the hearts of its audiences thanks to its amazing technique and artistic maestria.
