The Australian Ballet: The Nutcracker

Sir Peter Wright's magical production of this cherished ballet is set to Tchaikovsky's iconic score and comes to life with exquisite sets and costumes.

The Nutcracker by Sir Peter Wright is a magical production of the cherished 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.

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

There's no better way than The Nutcracker to rediscover the childlike joys of the holiday season or to create your own family tradition.
