THE NUTCRACKER
Ballet by Peter I. Tchaikovsky.
Artistic Director: Rimma Wachsmann

Welcome to a winter wonderland for the whole family!
Once upon a time, on a frosty Christmas Eve at the Silberhaus family home, young Marie received a beautiful nutcracker as a gift. That night, the nutcracker came to life and led her through a magical world full of fantasy. Together, Marie and the Nutcracker embark on an adventure full of wonders and dangers through the wintry fir forest all the way to the Land of Sweets. It is a story of courage, friendship, and the power of imagination that touches the hearts of the audience. The fairy-tale plot of this ballet transports the audience to a magical realm where goodness and beauty reign and romance is in the air. The magnificent splendor of the set design and costumes, the music, and the dance all contribute to the enchanting atmosphere.

The Royal Classical Ballet’
In “The Nutcracker,” the Royal Classical Ballet conjures up a magical winter landscape on stage with the Dance of the Snowflakes. The dancing snowflakes swirl across the stage, creating an enchanting snowstorm that, with their beauty and grace, perfectly embodies the wintry mood and the chill of the Enchanted Realm. Acrobatic interludes and exotic dances enrich the plot and lend a mystical touch to the already fantastic story of The Nutcracker. The dancers’ impressive performances are a true feast for the eyes that no one should miss.

The Story of The Nutcracker
Around the world, The Nutcracker has become a symbol of the holiday season thanks to the fairy tales of E.T.A. Hoffmann, particularly the story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.” This story inspired composer Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky to create his famous ballet *The Nutcracker*, which remains an integral part of Christmas traditions in many countries to this day.
