A holiday tradition treasured worldwide, The Nutcracker remains one of the most celebrated ballets of all time.

This enchanting story blends childhood wonder, magical realms, and the triumph of love, all brought to life through Tchaikovsky’s luminous score. Audiences follow young Clara and her Nutcracker Prince on a dreamlike adventure through shimmering snowlands and the delectable Land of Sweets.

Inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s tale The Nutcracker and the Mouse King and first staged in St. Petersburg in 1892 with a libretto by Marius Petipa, the ballet has since become a seasonal favorite across generations.

With its sweeping music, unforgettable imagery, and glittering choreography, The Nutcracker continues to capture hearts as a timeless celebration of imagination and joy.
