Russia’s Theatre has long been celebrated for taking the familiar and making it feel extraordinary. Known for daring staging and inventive reinterpretations, its productions draw audiences from across the globe, marrying tradition with fresh theatricality. For its Thailand debut, the company has crafted a version of The Nutcracker that feels entirely new. Sets shimmer with unexpected details, costumes pop with colour and texture, and added scenes give the story a richer emotional depth. 100 dancers bring Tchaikovsky’s score to life, while Clara’s generosity and Drosselmeyer’s sly magic open a night of wonder. The epilogue leaves you wondering what happens next, offering a quietly satisfying conclusion. It’s a production that honours the classic while feeling thrillingly contemporary – the perfect holiday escape.
