THE NUTCRACKER

Arabesque Dance Company, founded in 1967 is the sole ballet company in Bulgaria with a real prestige for the contemporary staging, based on the unconventional trends in the field of the modern dance.

The repertoire of Ballet “Arabesque” contains more than 100 different artistic works. The open stage method has made it possible for choreographers from Bulgaria and elsewhere in the world to put on their own performances, differing in their style.

Ballet Arabesque’s The Nutcracker, based on the famous tale by E.T.A.Hoffmann and the enchanting music of P.I. Tchaikovsky, is an intriguing, contemporary and simultaneously engaging performance, creating a wondrous atmosphere and fully submerging you into the Christmas spirit for the upcoming bright and joyful holidays.

The key message of the performance is that every person should be free to fantasize, free in their choice to transform their dreams into reality and change the world around them as they desire.
