The Ballet of the National Opera will introduce him “The Nutcracker” by Tchaikovsky in the impressive choreography of the director of the ELS Ballet, Konstantinou Rigouat 20 and 21 October 2023 at the Patticheio Municipal Theater of Limassol, within the framework of the Limassol Municipality’s Grand Ballet (Cyprus).

In “The Nutcracker” – a production which was first presented with great success in the “Stavros Niarchos” Hall of the ELLS at the SNFCC in December 2021 – Mr. Rigos “reads” the story as an otherworldly fairy tale that everyone will experience differently, based on his own dreams and his own repressed.

The setting of the show is a glass showcase room through which Marie-Clara will dream and travel through her imagination. The Christmas tree in the show is a plastic miniature in the display room, and Marie-Clara only sees the real thing on her screen. The “Nutcracker” of the ELS Ballet balances between a modern image and the classical dance tradition. The costumes of Deux Hommes are a mix of pop, glam, colorful, striking pieces of haute couture and together with national costumes and fabrics with influences from past performances of the Lyrica.

After the two performances in Cyprus, the “Nutcracker” of the LES Ballet will return to the Stavros Niarchos Hall of the National Opera at the SNFCC on December 23, 24, 28, 30, 2023 and January 3, 4, 5, 2024.
