After last year’s successful premiere of Swan Lake, Crown Ballet returns to enchant us with their delightful production of The Nutcracker, one of the jewels of Tchaikovsky’s musical repertoire.

This eternal seasonal favourite will be an unforgettable experience, full of familiar melodies, making this the ideal introduction to audiences of any age to the magic that is live classical ballet.

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

The Nutcracker is a charming and kind fairy tale where goodness and beauty triumph, making it a wonderful treat full of glitter for the whole family!
