Is it 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, the dance fairytale exudes its extraordinary magic - and has been doing so for decades. Since its premiere on December 18, 1892 in the Mariinsky Theater in Saint Petersburg, ETA Hoffmann's masterpiece has captivated young and old alike.

Spend an exciting Christmas evening with little Marie. As soon as she receives a pretty nutcracker from her uncle Drosselmeier, the big adventure begins. In her dream, she joins the Lord of the Nutcracker and goes into battle with his soldiers 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 kingdom of sweets as a thank you. Follow Marie into a colorful, sparkling fairytale world full of magic and fun.

And who could retell the story more beautifully than the Grand Classic Ballet? The ensemble of talented artists performs in the most famous theaters in the world - even the famous Bolshoi and Mariinsky Theaters. From China to Israel to the USA – artists all over the world float across the stage. With timeless elegance, emotional perfection and sparkling crystals in the stage design, the Grand Classic Ballet creates a breathtaking winter wonderland. If that isn't the perfect harbinger of Christmas.
