The beloved tale will be performed by the Saint-Petersberg Tchaikovsky Ballet Theatre
The Saint-Petersberg Tchaikovsky Ballet Theatre will bring their version of ‘The Nutcracker’ at the Dubai Opera during the festive season, from December 4 to 7. To be accompanied by a live orchestra, it tells the story of Clara who sets out on an adventure as her nutcracker comes to life.
