Seiskaya Ballet’s Nutcracker is truly an international collaboration beginning with Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s most famous score. Sets and several costumes were designed by Poland’s Margaret Piotrowska whose highly respected work in Polish television and stage productions has garnered wide praise. Directed by founder Joseph Forbes, scenery was executed by Scenic Art Studios which has been credited with painting over 300 Broadway shows. The imaginative and unusual sculptures utilized in the Seiskaya Ballet’s production were the brainchild of creative artist Matt Targon. Choreographed by celebrated Russian-born Valia Seiskaya, this acclaimed production is imbued with bravura dancing, energy and endearing charisma.

The company’s 2024 Nutcracker season should again garner praise. Judith H. Bernstein of Newsday headlined her Seiskaya Nutcracker review, “A Delicious Holiday Confection for Young and Old.” Reviewer Michelle Isabelle-Stark entitled her review “Seiskaya Ballet’s Nutcracker Is Dazzling and Breathtaking.” The Seiskaya Ballet’s Nutcracker is considered Long Island’s premier Nutcracker production.

Don’t miss the production that Newsday described as “...A Seasoned Recipe For Holiday Cheer” and the New York Times praised as “lavish.” Tickets go on sale October 10th at the Staller Center Box Office at (631) 632-ARTS and at www.nutcrackerballet.com.
