- This is a revival of a production first staged in Russia in 1934, before the complete "Nutcracker" was ever performed in the United States. It was choreographed by Vassili Vainonen, and was, from several accounts, highly influential. Despite what a user review says about this production, there are no real children in it; all the boys, including Masha's brother Fritz, are played by adult women in male drag. The costumes are from the 1954 revival of the Vainonen production. Mikhail Baryshnikov borrowed many of Vainonen's ideas for his famous staging of the ballet, such as the puppet show at the Christmas Party in Act I. Like Vainonen and another choreographer before him, Baryshnikov borrowed the idea of having the Nutcracker and Clara (Masha in this case) played by adult dancers rather than children, and letting them dance the final Pas de Deux instead of it being danced by the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, who do not appear in this version. Vainonen's idea of Masha touching the dancers at the Prince's court in order to bring them to life was also borrowed by Baryshnikov, as was some of Vainonen's actual choreography.
- Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's dazzling opera by-line in seven tableaux. The epic journey of Sadko a sea-faring minstrel from Novgorod, his wife Libava and their encounters with Volkhova, a sea Princess and the court of her parents the Tsar and Tsarina of the Sea. Sadko traveling on his ship "Falcon" also meets visiting foreign merchants from India (a Hindu), Scandinavia (a Varangian) and Italy (a Venetian) singing of the magic of their own lands to try and lure him. In the seventh tableaux Sadko is reunited with his wife, thinking his journey a dream, until he sees his fleet of ships coming up the newly created river Volkhova and realizes his sea Princess has transformed herself into the river in order to create the gateway to the ocean for Novgorod. In conclusion Sadko leads the hymn of praise and everyone rejoices their good fortune.
