Kids will love the bright, lifelike toys, the Christmas tree, and the mysterious magician. Adults will appreciate the deeper meanings in Tchaikovsky’s music, as Yuri Grigorovich has turned a sweet story into a philosophical reflection on the challenges of finding perfect happiness. The ballet is also a poetic tale about growing up and discovering love.
