A timeless holiday classic, The Nutcracker is one of the most beloved and iconic ballets in the world — a magical tale of enchantment, childhood dreams, and the triumph of love.
Set to Tchaikovsky’s dazzling score, the ballet follows young Clara and her enchanted Nutcracker Prince on a fantastical journey through snow-covered kingdoms and the Land of Sweets.
Based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s fairy tale The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, with a libretto by Marius Petipa, the ballet premiered in St. Petersburg in 1892 and has since become a cherished tradition during the festive season. Its symphonic richness, unforgettable melodies, and dazzling choreography make The Nutcracker a ballet of pure delight — for all ages and all generations.
