The Nutcracker Ballet
Audiences experience Pyotr Tchaikovsky's fairy-tale ballet in two acts and three scenes, inspired by E. T. A. Hoffmann's classic tale. The production follows Clara on an imaginative journey alongside the Nutcracker Prince, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and the Mouse King, set against vivid stage designs and dynamic character dances. The performance is presented by the Ballet, Orchestra, and Female Choir of Opera Nova, along with the 'Nova Voci' Children and Youth Choir.
