From December 20, 2025 to January 4, 2026 on the stage of the Moscow Academic Musical Theatre named after K.S. Stanislavsky and Vl.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko (MAMT) with the support of Department of Culture of the City of Moscow festive screenings will take place ballet "The Nutcracker" Pyotr Tchaikovsky, directed by Yuri Possokhov.

One of the capital's leading musical theaters will present a production that blends theatrical traditions with contemporary theatrical language. Pyotr Tchaikovsky's ballet has long been a symbol of the New Year holiday, and Yuri Possokhov's version returns audiences to its origins—the humanistic fairy tale by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, whose 250th anniversary will be celebrated on January 24, 2026.

"Yuri Possokhov's 'The Nutcracker' holds a special place in the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Academic Musical Theatre's New Year's program—it has long been its flagship, a production that audiences look forward to all year long. A sought-after and beloved production, supported by the Moscow Department of Culture, it rightfully bears the title of the capital's premier 'Nutcracker.' During the holidays, the theatre will open its doors to all generations of Muscovites and visitors alike, offering an atmosphere of unity and the joy of meeting beautiful music and artists," noted Andrei Borisov, General Director of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Academic Musical Theatre.

The story of Marie and the enchanted Prince (The Nutcracker) unfolds as a parable of growing up, first love, courage, and bravery. Yuri Possokhov's choreography combines academic vocabulary with vibrant drama, emphasizing the melody and rhythmic energy of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's score. Polina Bakhtina's set and costume designs establish the visual logic of the production: the vast stage space, designed as a giant book, is symbolic. In the MAMT production of "The Nutcracker," dolls and toys come to life, creating a New Year's miracle.

"'The Nutcracker,' which we present at the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theatre, is a production for everyone. It's important to me that it appeals to both children, who are looking forward to a true New Year's fairy tale, and adults, who always hold childhood memories alive. It's well known that Tchaikovsky's ballet was written not based on Hoffmann, but on a simplified retelling by Alexandre Dumas. In our version, we've returned to Hoffmann's tale: Marie's meeting with Drosselmeyer's nephew becomes the starting point for her fantasies and dreams. The history of 'The Nutcracker' productions is vast, but each time the production must be reimagined—every generation should have its own 'Nutcracker,' and for us, this is, above all, an attempt to return to the tradition of narrative ballet and to re-examine Tchaikovsky's great music," said choreographer Yuri Possokhov.

The leading roles will be performed by prima ballerinas, principal dancers, leading soloists, and soloists of the Moscow Academic Youth Theatre: Natalia Somova, Oksana Kardash, Erika Mikirticheva, Anastasia Limenko, Elena Solomyanko, Denis Dmitriev, Ivan Mikhalev, Innokenty Yuldashev, German Borsai, Evgeny Zhukov, Artur Mkrtchyan, and other artists.

The role of Drosselmeyer is given a special place in the performance. On December 21 at 12:00 PM, the ballet company's artistic director, Maxim Sevagin, will perform this role.

The performance features the MAMT orchestra and children's choir. Conducting will be Arif Dadashev, Roman Kaloshin, Fyodor Beznosikov, and music director Ivan Nikiforchin.

The Moscow Academic Youth Theatre has also prepared a festive program for young audiences during the New Year holidays. They will present an absolute family-friendly bestseller—Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's opera "The Tale of Tsar Saltan," based on Alexander Pushkin's famous work—as well as Jacques Offenbach's comic opera "Robinson Crusoe," featuring live parrots. This will become a true tropical island among the "Winter in Moscow" events.

The whole family can also attend "Meet the Orchestra," where audience members will interact with the musicians and learn about the structure of a symphony orchestra, as well as a concert of "Christmas Songs," featuring traditional holiday songs from various nations and cultures performed by the MAMT Children's Choir. These performances will complement the New Year's performances of "The Nutcracker" and create the atmosphere of a major winter theater festival for audiences of all ages at the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Academic Musical Theater.

Winter in Moscow — the main event of the season. The project aims to strengthen social and family ties, creating an atmosphere of unity, mutual support, comfort, and a festive spirit. Through a variety of programs, including cultural, educational, and sporting events, it brings together Muscovites and visitors of all ages and interests, creating conditions for creative development, active recreation, and warm social interaction during the cold season.

Over the past 10 years of the capital renovation program in Moscow, nearly 350 buildings with paneled facades have been restored. These decorative elements, often in the form of rectangular or square recesses, add volume to the buildings and emphasize their elegant style and distinctive character. Capital renovations not only extend the lifespan of the buildings but also carefully restore architectural details, preserving their unique appearance.urban economy complex Moscow was told about three houses with paneled windows that had undergone major renovations.

One such building is a residential building located at 67 Leningradsky Prospekt, Building 1. This six-story building was constructed in 1939 in the Soviet neoclassical style. Its facades feature multi-component plasticity, while the lower two floors are rusticated and highlighted with a darker color. The projecting parts are decorated with pilasters, panels, interfloor bands, and cornices. The window spaces are decorated with architraves and pediments, and the entrance areas are framed by portals. A crowning cornice, supported by brackets, runs along the perimeter of the building.

The façade renovation work was divided into several stages. First, the workers cleared the surfaces of accumulated dirt and then removed loose plaster. Next, they applied an antifungal coating to the exposed areas. Damaged brickwork from years of use was repaired and replaced where necessary. Decorative elements on the façade were also carefully restored.

Some windows on the third and fourth floors are also decorated with fascia and window sill niches. Loggias are located in the middle tier at the corner of the main and end façades, accented by arched openings and panels. A decorative paneled panel panel can be seen on the end façade between the third and fifth floors.

Projects to ensure comfortable and safe road traffic continue to be implemented in the capital. Work was carried out in Western And Northwest administrative districts. In the northeast of the city, since the beginning of the year, supervisors of the Traffic Management Center (TsODD) have implemented 50 such projects. These include new pedestrian crossings, additional vehicle lanes, waffle-shaped markings at intersections, and much more. Sergei Sobyanin spoke about this in his blog.

"At the request of residents of the Alekseevsky district, a new pedestrian crossing has been installed on Rizhsky Proyezd near building 5, leading to Sokolniki Park. Another one, in the same area, has been installed on Konstantinova Street near building 11a. This makes access to social facilities, such as School No. 1503, the Triumph Sports Club, the bank, and the Heroes' Memory Square, more convenient and safer," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Additionally, pedestrian safety islands have been installed at seven locations. One of them is in the Severny District on Akademika Alikhanov Street, next to Building 165D, Block 5 on Dmitrovskoye Shosse. In the same area, another safety island was created on Novodachnaya Street, between Building 15, Block 1 and Building 14, Block 1 on Dolgoprudnaya Alley.

In the Losinoostrovsky District, the maximum speed limit was reduced from 60 to 30 kilometers per hour in two sections. Similar measures were taken on Mezenskaya Street, home to School No. 1955, Polyclinics No. 218 and 11, banks, grocery stores, pharmacies, and public transportation stops. A similar restriction, at the request of residents, was introduced on Taymyrskaya Street, home to the A.K. Yeramishantsev City Clinical Hospital, dental clinics, Tayezhny Square, and School No. 763.

To ease heavy traffic, additional traffic lanes were added at seven locations. One of these was added in the Otradnoye district, on Yurlovsky Proyezd before the intersection with Dezhnev Proyezd and Severny Boulevard. Cars now turn left onto Dezhnev Proyezd in two lanes. As a result, the intersection's capacity has increased by 25 percent.

Waffle-pattern markings were added at three complex intersections—for example, at the intersection of Altufevskoe Highway and Khachaturyan Street in Otradnoye. Thanks to the reduction in congestion, travel has become 15–20 percent faster.

As a result of local projects, new parking spaces have appeared in the district: for example, 115 on Belozerskaya Street in the Bibirevo district. And in the Babushkinsky district, 55 parking spaces were created on Starovatutinsky Drive.

Around 35 road projects will be implemented in northeast Moscow by 2025.Waffle-pattern road markings were applied at 44 intersections in the capital this year.From new crossings to special markings: how the TsODD projects make city traffic safer

"Every completed project helps improve traffic. The primary focus is on the convenience and safety of pedestrians and drivers, especially near social facilities and other public transportation areas," Sergei Sobyanin emphasized.
