De Notenkraker - Het klassiek ballet en orkest
Relive the magic of Christmas with The Nutcracker, the famous ballet with music by Tchaikovsky and libretto by Marius Petipa (story by E. Hoffmann).
In this story you follow Clara when she receives a nutcracker in the shape of a man. One night the toy comes to life and leads a battle against the evil mice that invade the house. Clara, who is scared but brave, joins the fight and sees the nutcracker transform into Prince Charming thanks to her courage. Together they are transported to a fairytale kingdom.
The two-act ballet was first performed in December 1892 at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. Today it remains one of the most performed ballets in the world, thanks to its enchanting music and magical choreography.
