The popularity of The Nutcracker on New Year's Eve at the Bolshoi has triggered a wave of ballet productions across the country. The chance to see holiday classics before your eyes is growing, but tickets for numerous performances don't fit. In addition to the Bolshoi Theatre, the Kremlin Ballet, Mariinsky Theatre, MAMT, RAMT, Vaganova Academy and Nikolai Tsiskaridze, Imperial Russian Ballet, as well as Taganka, BDT, and Provincial Theatre are all offering tickets. The creative directors also invite you to an immersive dance show in an old mansion in the heart of the capital. Izvestia editors compared offers for the performance.
