The Nutcracker is Christmas!

A beloved holiday classic: Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" - on tour with an Italian star ensemble

For over 100 years, Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" has captivated audiences around the world and become inseparable from the Christmas season. Now a renowned Italian ensemble from the "cradle of European dance" 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 into 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 blends it with a subtle touch of modern choreography and expressive stagecraft.

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