Kuala Lumpur, 21 August 2024 – After the resounding success of Crescendo’s production of "Swan Lake" in Malaysia and Singapore this past May, Crescendo is thrilled to collaborate once again with the acclaimed Saint Petersburg National Ballet Theatre to bring another beloved classic to life—P.I. Tchaikovsky’s "The Nutcracker." As part of their highly anticipated ASEAN tour, "The Nutcracker" will be performed in Kuala Lumpur on 13 December 2024 at Plenary Hall, KLCC.
