Der Nussknacker - Grand Classic Ballet Die traditionelle Winter-Tournee
Is it a dream or reality? Why not both at the same time? In the Tschaikovsky classic "The Nutcracker," reality and vision merge into a magical interplay of sensual movements. Especially during the Christmas season, the dance fairy tale exudes its extraordinary magic - and has been doing so for decades. Since its premiere on December 18, 1892 at the Mariinsky Theater 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. Graceful movements, enchanting sounds, and dreamy settings transport you away from the here and now. Visit us and let yourself be enchanted into a wonderful Christmas season.
Join the young Marie for an exciting Christmas evening. As soon as she receives a beautiful nutcracker from her Uncle Drosselmeier, the great adventure begins. In her dream, she joins the Nutcracker's lord and, together with his soldiers, fights against the Mouse King. With united forces, they defeat the dreaded ruler. After the glorious victory, the Nutcracker transforms into a charming prince who, as a token of gratitude, takes the brave little heroine to the realm of sweets. Follow Marie into a colorful, sparkling fairytale world full of magic and fun.

If that's not the perfect Christmas harbinger.
Art of classical ballet.
Ballet can conquer all hearts and penetrate into the depths of the human soul. It makes one rejoice, weep, empathize, capture the viewer's thoughts. It teaches the viewer what they thought, what they admired, or were horrified - that is the art of classical ballet.
Ballet is part of the overall choreography, of the jubilation, excitement of the individual, their team, and the audience. The instrument of this jubilation is dance. On the ballet stage, life unfolds in a fairytale environment that brings danger, twists of fate, intrigues, charm, and disappointment to people. Death sometimes appears in ballet, and sometimes even a cemetery. However, sadness and joy do not appear in the coarse forms of everyday life, but in ceremonial garments. They are veiled with a shroud of jubilation, where sadness fades and joy becomes pensive. Yet, the true essence is revealed in the dances themselves. Thus, A.L. Volinski, a ballet critic and philosopher of classical dance, characterizes this art.
