Tchaikovsky: Iolanta / The Nutcracker

Directed by Dmitri Tcherniakov and Andy Sommer

With Sonya Yoncheva, Arnold Rutkowski, Alexander Tsymbalyuk, Andrei Jilihovschi and Vito Priante

To bring together again, for the first time since their premiere on a December evening in Moscow, Tchaikovsky’s opera Iolanta and ballet The Nutcracker, was the audacious challenge that Russian stage director Dmitri Tcherniakov accepted for the Palais Garnier in Paris in March 2016 : a revolutionary production, which was to become one of the key events of the Paris Opera season.
