It's a true musical (Christmas) classic and has delighted young and old alike for many generations. Almost everyone has melodies from it in their ears, and the wonderful story based on E.T.A. Hoffmann's "Nutcracker and Mouse King" is an unforgettable experience, and not just for children. With its well-known music and magnificent, classical choreography, the ballet fairy tale, which premiered in 1892, conveys perfect winter and Christmas magic.
The fact that the visually stunning ballet creations cast such an immediate spell over the audience is not least due to the classical elegance and perfect skill of the International Festival Ballet.
