Der Nussknacker

In the organizer's words:

For over 100 years, Peter Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" has delighted audiences around the world - and has become an integral part of the Advent and Christmas season. Now a renowned Italian ensemble from the "cradle of European dance" is bringing this masterpiece of classical ballet back to the stage.

It tells the story of Clara, who experiences a wondrous journey into a world full of fantasy, adventure and romance on Christmas night - with dolls that come to life, battling armies of mice and an enchanting prince at her side. The production captures this timeless fairytale world and combines it with a sensitive pinch of modern choreography and expressive stage language.
The audience can expect a visually and musically impressive experience: magnificent costumes, a detailed stage set and a top-class ballet cast whose training and dancing precision can be felt from the very first scene. Tchaikovsky's immortal music forms the emotional heart of the performance.

"Especially at Christmas time, 'The Nutcracker' is more than just a ballet - it is a gateway to a world in which miracles are possible. For one evening, we can believe that anything can happen - especially if you love," says the artistic director of the ensemble.
