The Nutcracker is Christmas!

For over a hundred years, Pyotr Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker" has held a cherished place in the theatrical and musical culture of the entire world. Every winter, young and old alike look forward to the chance to immerse themselves once more in the enchanting atmosphere of this ballet.

Only in childhood, when dream and reality are so inseparably intertwined, is it possible to step from one moment into a wonderful fairy-tale world, to fall in love with a beautiful prince who naturally returns that love, and to experience extraordinary adventures by the Christmas tree. The stroke of midnight then announces the fulfilment of the most incredible wishes.

The Italian ensemble, born from the "cradle of European dance," presents one of the most successful works of classical ballet. Audiences will marvel at a spectacular stage production, lovingly preserved in its traditional form yet skillfully and gently enhanced with modern choreography and contemporary modes of expression. The finest classical ballet training of the dancers is evident from the opening scenes, as are the sets and costumes that underscore the fairy-tale beauty of the world's most beloved Christmas story.

Thanks to Tchaikovsky's music and the ensemble's creative mastery, audiences are transported into a wondrous fairy-tale world where enchanted dolls dance, armed mouse armies retreat before toy soldiers, and each of us becomes capable of performing miracles - especially when in love. At least at Christmas.
