The Nutcracker

As the snow falls softly onto the stage, you immerse yourself in the enchanting world of The Nutcracker, a masterpiece set to the music of Tchaikovsky and the libretto by Petipa. In this original Franceconcert production, Ivanov's choreography is brilliantly performed by the Paris Ballet Theatre.

Inspired by the story by ETA Hoffmann, this beautiful fairy tale follows the story of young Clara, who receives a nutcracker in the shape of a little man as a gift. On Christmas Eve, the toy comes to life and takes her on a magical adventure: a battle against an army of mischievous mice, a transformation into a charming prince, and then an enchanting journey through a fairytale realm where flowers and snowflakes come to life to dance.

Brand-new sets invite you on a fantastic expedition: in the heart of a frozen forest, snow falls on the dancers; in the salon, the Christmas tree suddenly grows, and fireworks sparkle above a lavish castle.

The ballet in two acts was first performed in December 1892 at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg. It remains one of the most frequently performed ballets in the world, carried by its unforgettable music and spectacular choreography.

A performance that will enchant the little ones and fascinate the grown-ups! The perfect gift to celebrate the Christmas spirit with family or friends.
