Tchaikovsky’s ballet The Nutcracker is one of the core titles in the classical repertoire of balet ensembles. The choreographer has taken inspiration from a fairytale by Charles Dickens and presents a new version of this fairytale ballet in our production. The story takes place in nineteenth-century London and tells of the magic of Christmas, which transforms people’s chracters. This production, based on the classical items, brings a young, full and light feeling and satisfies audiences in all its aspects.
