REGAL Rat Kings

Drawing on centuries of tradition, complete with lavish costuming, exquisite attention to detail, and 10-foot-tall puppets, this production (marking its 25th anniversary) takes us back in time, to the era of Winter Palaces, glittering jewels and lushly embroidered satins and silks. The Moscow Ballet performs the Great Russian Nutcracker.
