About the ballet

The Nutcracker is a fairy tale that intertwines several themes – a merry Christmas spirit, mystery and mysticism, which is very characteristic of Hoffmann’s work. For children and adults alike, this ballet has become a truly exciting and enchanting New Year’s story, as hardly any Christmas or New Year’s celebration takes place without the presence of the wonderful and lifewise characters of this fairy tale.
