Event Description
On a starry Christmas Eve, young Clara’s world transforms as she embarks on an enchanting adventure beyond imagination. Guided by the Nutcracker Prince, she journeys through swirling winter landscapes where snowflakes dance in harmony and into the dazzling Land of Sweets, where confections waltz and the Sugar Plum Fairy reigns in splendor.
With Tchaikovsky’s soaring score and breathtaking choreography, this beloved holiday tradition captures the wonder of childhood, and the beauty of a dream brought to life. A feast for the senses and the soul, Nutcracker will sweep you away in its spell, filling hearts with joy and memories to cherish.
