Dressed up for the Moscow Ballet


 

It's not quite the Christmas for me untill I have seen the Nutcracker. The whole presence of this ballet makes me feel like a little girl in Moscow again...

This year it was The special 20th Anniversary production of Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts in Santa Rosa, California. 
What an enchanting performance! The music and exceptional choreography brings out your emotions, and  I caught myself crying a little. It was so touching and beautiful! The costumes and staging were impressive. In addition to the professional Russian ballet dancers, I really loved seeing the local children, involved in the production.
Also it was such a delight to see everyone dressed up for the show - like this group of girls and their mothers :)
