Is it a 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, this dance fairy tale exudes its extraordinary charm - and has been doing so for decades. Since its premiere on December 18, 1892, at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, E.T.A. Hoffmann's masterpiece has captivated young and old alike.

A beloved tradition in the pre-Christmas season from November 26, 2024, to January 23, 2025. In theaters nationwide, the talented ensemble brings the Christmas story to life. Smooth movements, enchanting melodies, and dreamy sets transport you out of the here and now. Come and let yourself be inspired for a wonderful Christmas time.

Experience an exciting Christmas evening with little Marie. As soon as her uncle Drosselmeier gives her a pretty Nutcracker, the great adventure begins. In a dream, she joins the Nutcracker's master and, along with his soldiers, goes into battle against the Mouse King. Together, they defeat the feared ruler with united forces. After the glorious victory, the Nutcracker transforms into a charming prince, who, in gratitude, takes the brave little heroine to the realm of sweets. Follow Marie into a colorful, sparkling fairytale world full of magic and fun.

And who could narrate the story more beautifully than the Grand Classic Ballet? The ensemble of talented artists honors the most famous theaters in the world - even in the renowned Bolshoi and Mariinsky Theatres. From China to Israel to the USA, the artists gracefully glide across the stage worldwide. With timeless elegance, emotional perfection, and sparkling crystals in the set design, the Grand Classic Ballet creates a breathtaking winter wonderland. If that's not the perfect Christmas harbinger.

The art of classical ballet.

Ballet has the power to conquer all hearts and delve into the depths of the human soul. It can bring joy, tears, empathy, capture the viewer's thoughts. He learns what he thought, what he admired or was horrified by - that is the art of classical ballet.

Ballet is part of the overall choreography, the jubilation, the excitement of the individual, their team, and the audience. The instrument of this jubilation is dance. Life unfolds on the ballet stage in a fairytale environment that presents danger, fateful blows, intrigues, charm, and disappointment. Death sometimes appears in ballet, and sometimes even a cemetery. Yet sadness and joy do not appear in the coarse forms of everyday life, but in ceremonial attire. They are covered with a veil of jubilation where sadness fades and joy becomes thoughtful. However, the true content reveals itself in the dances themselves. A.L. Volinski, a ballet critic and philosopher of classical dance, characterizes this art in this way.
