The Nutcracker is Christmas!
Enchanting Christmas classic: Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" - on tour with an Italian star ensemble

For over 100 years, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" has captivated audiences worldwide and has become inseparable from the festive season. Now a renowned Italian ballet ensemble from the "cradle of European dance" brings this masterpiece of classical ballet back to the stage in a particularly tender production.

The story follows Clara, who on the magical night of Christmas Eve embarks on a wondrous journey into a world brimming with fantasy, adventure, and romance - accompanied by enchanted dolls, battling mouse armies, and a charming prince. The production captures this timeless fairy-tale world and weaves it together with a delicate touch of contemporary choreography and expressive stage language.

The audience can expect a visually and musically impressive experience: magnificent costumes, meticulously crafted set design, and a world-class ballet company whose training and dancing precision are evident from the opening scene. Tchaikovsky's immortal music forms the emotional heart of the performance.

"Especially at Christmas time, '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 you love," says the ensemble's artistic direction.
