A product of glasnost, the Moscow Ballet formed in the early 1990s and sent top Russian dancers on world tours. The troupe continues to shine with premiere Russian talents and this traditional production of Tchaikovsky's classic features stunning costumes, puppetry and hand-painted backdrops. A portion of proceeds benefits Kingsley House. Tickets $40-$70.
