About this event
This original production by Franceconcert, featuring the Paris Ballet Theater company, is the unmissable event of the 2026–2027 holiday season.
Inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s story, this wonderful tale follows the story of young Clara, who receives a little man-shaped nutcracker as a gift. On Christmas night, the toy comes to life and takes her on a magical adventure: a battle against an army of mischievous mice, a transformation into a handsome prince, and then an enchanting journey through a fairy-tale kingdom where flowers and snowflakes come alive to dance.
The two-act ballet was first performed in December 1892 at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg. It remains one of the most performed ballets in the world, carried by its enchanting music and spectacular choreography.
