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.
