Step into the holiday magic with "The Nutcracker", a timeless masterpiece set to Tchaikovsky's iconic music and Petipa's libretto. Based on Ivanov's legendary choreography and performed by the Paris Ballet Theater, this original Franceconcert production is the must-see event of the 2026--2027 holiday season. Inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann's tale, this enchanting story follows young Clara, who receives a nutcracker shaped like a little man as a Christmas gift. On Christmas Eve, the toy comes to life and leads her on a magical adventure: a battle against mischievous mice, a transformation into a charming prince, and a dreamlike journey through a fairy-tale kingdom where flowers and snowflakes dance. Premiered in December 1892 at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, this two-act ballet remains one of the most performed in the world, celebrated for its spellbinding music and spectacular choreography.
