Casse-Noisette - Ballet & Orchestre

Immerse yourself in the magic of Christmas with *The Nutcracker*, a masterpiece set to Tchaikovsky’s music and Petipa’s libretto, based on Ivanov’s choreography and performed by the Paris Ballet Theatre. This original production by Franceconcert is the unmissable event of the 2026–2027 festive season. Inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s story, this wonderful tale follows the story of young Clara, who receives a nutcracker in the shape of a little man as a gift. On Christmas Eve, the toy comes to life and takes her on a magical adventure: a battle against an army of mischievous mice, a transformation into a charming prince, and then an enchanting journey through a fairy-tale kingdom where flowers and snowflakes come to life to dance.

The two-act ballet was first performed in December 1892 at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg. It remains one of the most frequently performed ballets in the world, thanks to its spellbinding music and spectacular choreography. A show that will delight children and fascinate adults alike!
