The Russian State Ballet is giving a new interpretation to the well-known fairy tale "The Nutcracker."

Based on ETA Hoffmann's story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," the ballet premiered in 1892 and has been adapted and reinterpreted 10 times since then. But the essential premise stays consistent: compassion and true love win over evil.

Today, "The Nutcracker" continues to provide ballet masters and performers with limitless opportunities for artistic development. Tchaikovsky's music allows dancers to express themselves freely, and the lavish and colorful stage decorations bring the fairy tale world to life.

The Russian State Ballet will perform at the Shanghai Center Theatre on April 20 and 21.
