While some traditions are made to be broken, others are simply too opulent to ignore. Washing away the rigors of the holiday slog with whimsical childhood dreamscapes, the impeccably refined Kirov Ballet of the Mariinsky Theatre gives an appropriately lush staging of Tchaikovsky's timeless warhorse of holiday cheer. The Kirov pulls out all the stops: live orchestra, colorful costuming, epic scenery, and a beautifully precise eloquence of dance celebrating grace, youth, and frivolity.
