Lose yourself in the magic of classical ballet this new year.
The festive charms of The Nutcracker will captivate audiences of all ages. When Clara is gifted a Nutcracker doll who magically comes to life, an enchanting adventure unfolds; a dramatic battle with the Mouse King ensues, and dancing snowflakes fill the stage.
A live orchestra performing Tchaikovsky’s splendid score adds the finishing touch to this spectacular performance, a treat for ballet lovers and newcomers alike.
