A new, magical version of The Nutcracker ballet, with support from the Mayor of Ulaanbaatar, will be staged for the first time at the Mongolian State Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet today, December 24^th.

A team of 400, including 50 dancers, 61 musicians, 25 stagehands and two casts of talented young artists from the Music and Dance College and the Mongolian State University of Culture and Arts, will bring the new version of The Nutcracker by State Merit Artist D.Altankhuayg to an eager audience.

It took two months for the theatre to bring five wagons of stages, decorations, and sets of costumes to the theatre. Tickets for the hot new year holiday performance of The Nutcracker are already sold out. The theatre now only waits for the audience for the groundbreaking evening.
