The Greatest Nutcracker on the world

From snowflakes to special effects but undoubtedly still the ideal family show !

Ballet and orchestra of the “Grand Opera” of Ukraine

Everyone knows the story of Clara who shrinks when the evening falls while the toys miraculously come to life …..

A enchanting story for more than one hundred years !

With deep respect for the essence and the charm of the story, French choreographer Johan Nus (« Around the World in 80 days », « The Umbrellas of Cherbourg », « Swan lake on the Water ») brings new life to this great classic by adding a modern touch.

Through digital projections and classical decors he introduces spectacular special effects as falling snow during « The Waltz of the Snowflakes » or the arrival of the troika pulled by movable, lifelike reindeers !

Thinking outside the box, the show uses the whole height of the stage to create a suprise effect. In addition, the show can count on a classical ballet of 40 dancers, circus artists but also comedians of all dimensions and weight who give this spectacle of acrobatic stunts and elegant dance steps a dimension of « reality ».

Undoubtedly the biggest and most spectacular Nutcracker ever !

Accompanied of course by a big orchestra as a ballet without an orchestra is not a real ballet !

The biggest Nutcracker in the world !
