The Australian Ballet: The Nutcracker

30 November - 18 December 2024
Joan Sutherland Theatre Sydney Opera House / Tubowgule

Sir Peter Wright's The Nutcracker is a magical production of the beloved festive ballet that remains faithful to the 19th-century original and will fill you with the Christmas spirit. Tchaikovsky's last ballet score with its famous motifs and melodies draws us into the story of Clara a young ballet student celebrating with her family on Christmas Eve. When the clock strikes twelve we enter the dream realm where Clara's Nutcracker doll comes to life taking her on a thrilling adventure where she encounters the Rat King before being whisked away to the Land of Sweets and into the arms of her Nutcracker Prince.

Veteran designer John F. Macfarlane exquisitely evokes the world of this picture-perfect ballet: whirling snowflakes crackling fires band-box soldiers a Christmas tree that grows until it brushes the ceiling and a Sugar Plum Fairy in luscious candy-floss pink.

With the holidays around the corner there's no better way than The Nutcracker to rediscover the childlike joys of the season or to create your own family tradition.
