Ballet dancer Nikolai Tsiskaridze believes that the ballet The Nutcracker at the Bolshoi Theater is deceiving the audience. He said this in an interview with the TV channel. NTV.
Tsiskaridze expressed his regret that this performance, which he grew up with and who is also one of the most important artists in history, “was not at the level it should have been”. According to him, the audience of The Nutcracker shown at the Bolshoi Theater is being “deceived”.
“I’m so sorry. Because you can’t do 28 shows or 25 shows in a row. For women, dancing snowflakes in a ballet corset two days in a row means you don’t have legs, your legs are just a bloody mess,” the artist added.
