​

The Nutcracker by P. I. Tchaikovsky is one of the most beloved and famous holiday ballets of all time. It is based on the novella The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E. T. A. Hoffmann, which tells the story of a Christmas Eve in a small German town.

​

For this magical story, Tchaikovsky composed extraordinary music filled with deep meaning. He created a symphonic poem about childhood, the growth of the soul, the wonders of Christmas night, the battle between light and darkness, and pure love.

​

Magnificent stage sets, beautiful costumes, and of course the brilliant music create an atmosphere of magic and inspire audiences of all ages.

​

Attending The Nutcracker ballet has long become a cherished tradition for adults and children all over the world — a magical holiday celebration that families of different generations return to again and again for more than a century.
