Nutcracker

The Prague Festival Ballet presents "The Nutcracker" by P. Tchaikovsky

The Prague Festival Ballet takes the audience into a wonderland of playfulness and romance, fairy tales and dreams. The magical plot fascinates and delights a wide audience time and time again: on Christmas Eve, Klara receives a nutcracker as a gift, which takes her to faraway, fairytale lands and worlds in her dreams. She dreams of a battle between the toy soldiers led by the Nutcracker and the army of the Mouse King. Klara rescues her beloved Nutcracker and helps him to victory. The Nutcracker is transformed into a prince and the two are then rewarded and celebrated by exotic creatures and even flowers.

Famous arrangements such as the Flower Waltz, the Snowflake Waltz and the motifs of the "Divertissement" appeal equally to all audiences.

The composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
