All tickets for Pyotr Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker" staged by Yuri Grigorovich, which will be held on the Historical Stage of the Bolshoi Theater from December 17 to 31, were sold out in four days, RT reports.

Ticket sales for the Nutcracker ballet have traditionally caused a stir among the audience, but the introduction of an auction system at the Bolshoi Theater has reduced the influence of speculators and increased the theater's earnings. This was stated by the general director of the Bolshoi Valery Gergiev in an interview with Izvestia on December 3.

The theater has scheduled 18 screenings of the play in December and 15 more in January. The first performance will take place on December 17 at 19:00 Moscow time. The last show this year will be held on December 31 at 18:00 Moscow time.

As a rule, the ballet will be shown twice a day — at 12:00 and 19:00 — until January 11. The sales are organized in stages on the official website of the theater. It will be impossible to purchase tickets at the box office.
