Guo Nian, the Chinese rendition of the ballet classic The Nutcracker, unfolds against the vibrant canvas of Spring Festival, China's most important traditional festival. Rebranded to embody the essence of "celebrating the New Year" in Chinese, this adaptation gracefully shifts the narrative from Christmas to Spring Festival, maintaining the core theme of family reunion. Enriched with an array of traditional cultural elements, it becomes a poignant fusion of classic ballet and Chinese heritage.
