Music: Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky

Ballet Classic for the whole family!

"The Nutcracker" has been one of the most popular and famous ballets of the international repertoire since its premiere in 1892. For many generations Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker has been an integral part of the pre-Christmas season.

The story is based on "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" written by E.T.A. Hoffmann. It tells the story of Clara, a whimsical little girl, whose godfather Drosselmeier gives her a nutcracker as a present on Christmas Eve.  Magically the Nutcracker turns into a prince who invites her to a journey into the Sugar Plum Fairy's Realm of Sweets. She celebrates a sumptuous party together with her godfather and the nutcracker prince...
