About
Sir Peter Wright's beloved production of The Nutcracker returns to the Ian Potter State Theatre to enchant Melbourne's audiences. With earlier start times, The Nutcracker is the perfect ballet to create a new family tradition.
In The Nutcracker, Tchaikovsky’s last ballet score, with its famous motifs and melodies, draws us into the story of Clara, a young ballet student celebrating with her family on Christmas Eve.
World-renowned designer John F Macfarlane exquisitely evokes the world of this ballet: whirling snowflakes, crackling fires, bandbox soldiers, a Christmas tree that grows until it brushes the ceiling, and a Sugar Plum Fairy in luscious candy-floss pink.
Only eight performances, do not miss your chance to experience the magic of The Nutcracker.
