On Saturday, Dec. 14, the Kings Theatre in Flatbush was transformed into a classical holiday wonderland, complete with enchanting fairy-tale scenes and stunning backdrops showcasing extraordinary stagecraft as the Grand Kyiv Ballet performed "The Nutcracker."
The evening celebrated high art, cultural heritage, and the indomitable spirit of the Ukrainian people, set against the poignant backdrop of the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Tchaikovsky's iconic score, composed partly in Ukraine and inspired by its natural beauty, soared through the theater, transporting attendees to a world of holiday enchantment.
Anna Stoianova, who starred as Clara, graduated from the Kyiv State Choreographic School in 2020 and then worked at the National Opera of Ukraine until 2022.
