The Nutcracker is Christmas!

For over 100 years, Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" has captivated audiences around the world and become inseparable from the Christmas season. A renowned Italian ensemble from the "cradle of European dance" now brings this masterpiece of classical ballet to the stage in a particularly lovingly crafted production.

The story follows Clara, who on a magical Christmas night embarks on a wondrous journey through a world of fantasy, adventure and romance - with dolls come to life, battling armies of mice and an enchanting prince by her side. The production captures this timeless fairy-tale world and weaves in a subtle touch of modern choreography and expressive stagecraft.

The audience can look forward to a visually and musically striking show: lavish costumes, a richly detailed set and a top-tier ballet cast whose training and precision are evident from the very first scene. Tchaikovsky's enduring score forms the emotional core of the performance.

"At Christmas especially, 'The Nutcracker' is more than a ballet - it is a gateway to a world where miracles are possible. For one evening, we are allowed to believe: anything can happen - above all, when there is love," says the ensemble's artistic director.
