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

This will be the French premiere of the British Festival Ballet, directed by Yassaui Mergaliyev, an exceptional dancer who won a gold medal at the prestigious Varna competition, honoured by the government of Kazakhstan for his artistic career, and by Sophie Mergaliyev, a former dancer with the Royal Swedish Ballet. 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 on tour today. Come and discover this fairy tale with the sublime music of Piotr Tchaïkovski. A must-see!
