The Nutcracker

11 - 18 December 2010

The magic begins when the clock chimes midnight!

At the Stahlbaum family’s Christmas celebrations, Drosselmeyer weaves his magic and conjures a cast of imaginative characters, including a Prince, a Snow Fairy, and festive dancers from all corners of the globe. Young Clara is swept into a fantasy dream world where toy soldiers come to life and snowflakes dance.

Inspired by the original story by E.T.A. Hoffmann, François Klaus’s traditional Nutcracker is a delight, with lavish sets, beautiful costumes and spectacular dancing. With the much-loved music of Tchaikovsky, The Nutcracker opens the door to an enchanting world of dance and theatre. Share the magic with your family at Christmas time!
