Get ready for a magical night this holiday season as ‘The Nutcracker’ takes center stage at the Teatro Stabile del Friuli Venezia Giulia on December 12th at 8:30 PM. The enchanting performance, choreographed by Luciano Cannito, will be presented by the Roma City Ballet Company, making its Trieste debut with 30 talented dancers, including guest étoiles Iana Salenko and Dinu Tamazlacaru, the principal dancers from the Berlin Opera House.
This one-night-only classic, scheduled for Tuesday, December 12th at 8:30 PM, is part of the Teatro Stabile del Friuli Venezia Giulia’s season and promises to captivate audiences with its festive charm. Luciano Cannito’s choreography breathes new life into ‘The Nutcracker,’ a timeless masterpiece by Tchaikovsky.
Known as the most performed classical ballet worldwide, ‘The Nutcracker’ has graced the Politeama Rossetti stage in various interpretations, from the imaginative version by Matthew Bourne to the faithful renditions offered almost annually by Russian dance companies.
For the 2023 holiday season, ‘The Nutcracker’ returns in a new and opulent production, directed and choreographed by Luciano Cannito, and performed by the talented dancers of the Roma City Ballet Company, marking their debut at the Rossetti stage. This Italian ensemble, formed through international auditions, has quickly risen to become one of the nation’s premier classical dance companies, renowned for its technical prowess.
Originally staged at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo and later revived at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, Cannito’s production adds depth to the character of Drosselmeyer, portrayed by the distinguished character dancer Manuel Paruccini. He will gift young Clara a wondrous Christmas night, unfolding in a dream where sweets and toys come to life, accompanied by a handsome Nutcracker Prince and a delightful Sugar Plum Fairy. The spectacle, featuring costumes by Giusi Giustino and sets by Italo Grassi, will showcase around thirty artists from the company, led by the internationally acclaimed guest étoiles from the Berlin Opera House, Iana Salenko and Dinu Tamazlacaru.
Tickets for this enchanting performance are available at the Politeama Rossetti Box Office and through the usual channels of the Teatro Stabile del Friuli Venezia Giulia: www.ilrossetti.vivaticket.it. Additional information can be found on the website www.ilrossetti.it and by calling 040.3593511.”
