Choreographed and directed by Dorian Mallia, this production of ‘The Nutcracker’ reflects the artistic vision of Moveo Dance Company, which is co-led by Dorian Mallia and Diane Portelli. It will be performed by an ensemble of both young dancers from the Moveo Junior Company and seasoned Moveo apprentices and dancers, with Lara Mizzi in the role of Clara and Zashaya Zammit as the titular Nutcracker. The production has evolved significantly since last year’s production of ‘The Nutcracker’. A brand new set design by Aleksandra Idowiak will immerse audiences into a dream-like world inside a whimsical toyshop. There will be some new choreography too, most notably the addition of the Sugar Plum Fairy’s iconic Pas de Deux, which will bring an element of classical ballet to Moveo’s contemporary style.   

‘The Nutcracker’ has become one of the most popular ballets of all time. The iconic score composed by Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky, paired with Dorian Mallia’s contemporary choreography, results in a production that is perfect for audiences of all ages. The recognisable story makes this production accessible to those who are new to the world of dance, whilst the elevated choreography means that it will be a unique and enjoyable experience for those more familiar with the genre.
