Russian State Ballet and Opera House presents The Nutcracker

Performed to a large, 30 piece, live orchestra.

Music: Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky

After last year's success, Russian State Ballet and Opera House are back with a ballet classic for the whole family. Join us for an unforgettable journey in the run-up to Christmas and be part as the magic unfolds.

The Premieres of The Nutcracker transforms the classical ballet into a fairy-tale. Featuring timeless score from incredible composer Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky, Nutcracker is a certified Russian classic, replete with evocative music and beautiful dance. This ballet has captured the imagination of many generations over the years and continues to attract audiences worldwide, full of mystery and romance.

The Christmas story is based on "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" written by E.T.A. Hoffmann. It tells the story of Marie, a rather sad little girl, whose godfather Drosselmeier gives her a Nutcracker doll as a present on Christmas Eve which turns into a prince and the magic starts...

The Nutcracker is considered by many to be one of the greatest classical ballets of all time!
