A magical ballet about Clara's dream journey with the Nutcracker Prince. Enchanting marionettes and Tchaikovsky's famous music captivate young and old.
Description
The Salzburg Marionette Theatre presents Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's timeless ballet "The Nutcracker" in a unique puppet production on stage. Inspired by E. T. A. Hoffmann's fairy tale "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," young Clara experiences a magical Christmas night: her Nutcracker transforms into a prince and takes her to the realm of the Sugar Plum Fairy, where fantastical beings and fairy-tale adventures await her.
The production is distinguished by handcrafted puppets and elaborate sets, all created in the theatre's own workshops. Historical stage designs and costumes lend the production a special charm. The choreography combines elements from different eras, including a new production from 2017. The piece is accompanied by a historical recording by the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande conducted by Ernest Ansermet, which adds a special musical depth to the performance.
