Cuba´s National Ballet, directed by Prima Ballerina Assoluta Alicia Alonso, continues to present the Nutcracker Suite ballet  at the main theatre in Valencia with great success, as part of their current Spanish tour due to conclude soon.

The piece, with choreography by Alicia is based on the open version by Alexandre Dumas, with designs by Guido Fiorato.Ballet critics and the audience have welcomed with enthusiasm the Cuban artists´ performances and Alicia Alonso’s presence during the tour. During their stay in Valencia, Alicia and the dancers visited the exhibition “Revealing Looks of the Cuban Revolution”, at the Valencia Modern Art Institute.

The display includes 65 photos of the Cuban Photographic Library´s collection, with works by such important photographers as Korda, Raul Corrales, Roberto Salas, and Liborio Noval, who captured many historical and emotive moments of the Revolution.

On January 1, the National Ballet celebrated the new anniversary of the Cuban Revolution at Havana´s Grand Theater, with a varied program.
