The best stories for ballet are fairy tales. They have everything: different characters, palaces, balls, magical transformations, an exciting plot and the struggle between good and evil, where, of course, good wins.
“Cinderella” by Charles Perrault fits perfectly into the language of classical choreography, especially when it is accompanied by the brilliant music of Sergei Prokofiev.

An encyclopedia of classical dance, a breakthrough in ballet music, a delightful extravaganza: all this is about the ballet "Sleeping Beauty", the world's masterpiece of ballet art. “Sleeping Beauty”, in which the opulent atmosphere of french king Louis XIV was recreated, has become the most beautiful and most expensive ballet of Mariinsky Theatre.

Music familiar from childhood, incredible costumes and dances, as well as a Christmas tree, snow, alive dolls, first love and New Year's miracles: “The Nutcracker” ballet, like an exciting Christmas dream, full of wonderful transformations and discoveries, has become a symbol of the New Year all over the world.
