Mergaliyev Classical Ballet bring their production of The Nutcracker, with a live orchestra, to the Cambridge Corn Exchange for the festive season.
Mergaliyev Classical Ballet bring The Nutcracker to the Cambridge Corn Exchange from 27 to 29 December, with performances running across three days. It's a production that follows Tchaikovsky's iconic score, played by a live orchestra rather than a recording, and staged with world-class dancers and stunning costumes.
The company behind it is Mergaliyev Classical Ballet, founded in 2023. They bring together dancers from around the world, and they describe their work as drawing on those varied backgrounds, training and styles to add a unique vibrancy to their performances. It's a relatively young company, so this is one of their earlier seasons on the UK circuit.
