The Nutcracker - Grand Classic Ballet ....the traditional winter tour

Is it a dream or reality? Why not both at the same time?

In the Tchaikovsky classic "The Nutcracker," reality and vision merge into a magical interplay of sensual movements. Especially during the Christmas season, this dance fairy tale spreads its extraordinary magic - and has been doing so for decades.

Since its premiere on December 18, 1892, at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, E.T.A. Hoffmann's masterpiece has captivated young and old alike.

A beloved tradition during the New Year and Christmas holidays in theaters across Germany, the talented ensemble brings the Christmas story to life. Smooth movements, enchanting sounds, and dreamy backdrops transport you away from the here and now. Join us and let yourself be enchanted into a wonderful Christmas time. Spend an exciting Christmas Eve with little Marie.

As soon as she receives a lovely nutcracker from her Uncle Drosselmeier, the great adventure begins. In her dream, she joins the Nutcracker's lord and together with his soldiers, they march into battle against the Mouse King. With their combined forces, they defeat the feared ruler. After the glorious victory, the nutcracker transforms into a charming prince, who takes the little brave heroine with him to the land of sweets as a reward.

Follow Marie into a colorful, sparkling fairy tale world full of magic and fun.
