Maria Kochetkova as Mary in Nutcracker

[@bdj0103]

She is the best!

[@SeborFamily]

In the Mariinksy version of this ballet, Mary/Clara/Masha (whatever you want to call her) is the leading female role; there is no Sugar Plum Fairy.

1:35 stunning! Where is this production? Very inventive and original choreography.

[@amytuite7449]

Pretty sure she's playing Masha here....

[@inesdecastrocorreia]

who's Mary?? Isn't this the Sugar Plum Fairy?

[@icarrus4u]

Very dramatic choreography...

[@joana7497]

Is the prince Timur Askerov?

[@Shaarca]

Yes, it is.

[@MMGM81]

Sorry, but this is not Mary... She is the Sugar Plum Fairy!

There are many versions of the Nutcracker. In the version of Mariinsky/Kirov Theater Mary or Clara as you prefer to call, it is the Sugar Plum Fairy. They are the same character.
