Is it dream or reality? Why not both at the same time? In Tchaikovsky's classic "Der Nussknacker," reality and vision merge into a magical interplay of sensual movements. Especially during the Christmas season, the dance fairy tale exudes its extraordinary charm – and has done so for decades. Since its world premiere on December 18, 1892, at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, E.T.A. Hoffmann's masterpiece has captivated young and old alike.

A beloved tradition during the pre-Christmas period from November 26, 2024, to January 23, 2025. In theaters across Germany, the talented ensemble brings the Christmas story to life. Smooth movements, enchanting sounds, and dreamy sets transport you away from the here and now. Join us and let yourself be inspired for a wonderful Christmas season.

Spend an exciting Christmas evening with little Marie. As soon as she receives a beautiful nutcracker from her Uncle Drosselmeier, the great adventure begins. In her dream, she joins the Nutcracker's master and, together with his soldiers, goes into battle against the Mouse King. With united forces, they defeat the feared ruler. After the glorious victory, the nutcracker transforms into a charming prince, who takes the little brave heroine to the land of sweets as a reward. Follow Marie into a colorful, sparkling fairy-tale world full of magic and fun.

And who could tell the story more beautifully than the Grand Classic Ballet? The ensemble of talented artists graces the most renowned theaters in the world – even in the famous Bolshoi and Mariinsky theaters. From China to Israel to the USA – artists float across the stage worldwide. 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 Christmas herald.

The art of classical ballet.

Ballet can conquer all hearts and penetrate the depths of the human soul. It evokes joy, tears, empathy, capturing the thoughts of the observer. 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. On the ballet stage, life unfolds in a fairy-tale setting that brings danger, calamities, intrigues, charm, and disappointment to people. Death sometimes appears in ballet, and sometimes even a graveyard. But sadness and joy do not appear in the coarse forms of everyday life, but in festive garments. They are covered by a veil of jubilation, where sadness has faded and joy becomes reflective. But the true content reveals itself in the dances themselves. Thus, A.L. Volinski, ballet critic and philosopher of classical dance, characterizes this art.

Doors open at 6 PM.
