The premiere of the new version of "The Nutcracker" staged by People's Artist Valentin Elizariev took place yesterday at the Bolshoi Theater of Belarus. This performance was not on the playbill for 7 years. The design was retained in the new interpretation: part of the sets and costumes were restored, part was sewn again. There are 4 teams of dancers for each leading party - the bet is on the young ones.
