Synopsis

Back by popular demand, Introduction to The Nutcracker returns four years after its sold out run in 2022. An all-time audience favourite, this magical one-hour production is specially created for young audiences. Beautifully condensed from the beloved classical ballet, it offers the perfect introduction to the world of dance.

 

Follow Clara on an enchanting adventure filled with bravery, wonder and imagination, and meet iconic characters audiences adore—from the elegant Snow Queen to the dazzling Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier.

 

Come dressed up in costumes and join a special post-performance meet-and-greet with the cast—snap photos and say hello to the dancers. Make it a day to remember and experience the magic of ballet up close through dance and storytelling.
