A live broadcast from the musical theater transforms Tchaikovsky's iconic ballet into a big-screen event. A modern production with expressive choreography and elegant scenography makes this transmission an integral part of the festive anticipation - touching, magical, adult and childlike at the same time. The theater becomes closer when the stage extends beyond its building. The live broadcast of the new production of the famous ballet based on Hoffman's fairy tale is a way not just to touch a great work, but also to see how the classics sound anew. Yuri Posokhov's production returns the viewer to the literary source, revealing the ballet as something more than just a winter fairy tale. Here, there are themes of growing up, overcoming fears, and internal changes, underpinned by subtle dramaturgy. The ballet is presented with respect for the academic tradition, but in a modern stage interpretation. The choreography is intertwined with live emotion, and every gesture is embedded in the musical fabric of the score. The visual language of the performance is created by Polina Bakhtina. The familiar home space transforms into a world where everything seems slightly enlarged, alive, and magical. Each scene is like on the border of dream and reality, where literary fantasies take on physical form. The scenography works subtly but effectively - enhancing the plot without distracting from it. The lead roles are performed by Anastasia Limenko and Ivan Mikhalev, with Arif Dadashov at the conductor's podium. Tchaikovsky's music sounds with new sharpness and sensuality, especially in close-ups of the cameras and with the expressive light of Narek Tumanyan. The broadcast will take place at the "Illuzion" cinema - on the big screen, with good sound and a full effect of presence. For those who can't make it to the theater or want to see the ballet with fresh eyes, this will be the perfect festive start to winter.
