The magical ballet « Casse-noisette  » makes its traditional entrance on stage in winter. It is a true musical and choreographic masterpiece! On Christmas Eve, young Marie receives a nutcracker from her uncle. At night, the toys begin to come to life and move, and the little girl is swept into a whirl of extraordinary adventures. The magic of Christmas, the magnificent costumes, the varied choreography and a genuine festive atmosphere make The Nutcracker a show for the whole family. A marvellous ballet, a symphony of beauty and grace!

This will be the first performance in France of the British Festival Ballet, directed by Yassaui Mergaliyev, an exceptional dancer who won the gold medal at the prestigious Varna competition, honoured by the government of Kazakhstan for his artistic career, and by Sophie Mergaliyev, former dancer with the Royal Ballet of Sweden. The refined style, the traditions of the Vaganova school and the technical prowess of the English school make this young company one of the most accomplished touring companies today.

Come and discover this fairy tale with the sublime music of Piotr Tchaikovsky. Not to be missed!
