In the Tchaikovsky classic “The Nutcracker”, reality and vision merge into a magical interplay of sensual movements. Especially during the Christmas season, the dance fairy tale spreads its extraordinary charm – and has done so for decades.

Since its premiere on December 18, 1892, at the Mariinsky Theater 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 brings the Christmas story to life, as the talented ensemble captivates you. Graceful movements, enchanting sounds, and dreamy backdrops transport you away from the here and now. Visit us and allow yourself to be immersed in a wonderful Christmas season. Spend an exciting Christmas evening with little Marie.

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

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