Ballet performance coproduced by The Romanian National in Cluj-Napoca and Rotary Club Cluj-Napoca.

Ballet extravaganza in two acts on a libretto by Marius Petipa, inspired by E. T. A. Hoffmann’s homonym short story

P. I. Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet stole the hearts and arose the imagination of spectators of all ages, from the entire world, after it premiered at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre from Sankt Petersburg, on 6 December 1892. What better present could the composer have offered to children all over the world, than a lyric tradition that continues to this day to herald winter holidays, with enthusiasm and on delightful scores.

Successfully transposed throughout years as ballet on ice, motion picture, cartoon or illustrated book, the magic ballet in two acts slides elegantly on the Russian composer’s score, based on Alexandre Dumas’ homonym fairy tale.

The winter tale places us in the festive atmosphere of the Silberhaus family’s saloon, where all the close ones enjoy the Christmas tree festivity. Little Maria and her brother Fritz raid into the presents, the most precious of all being, by far, the stately Nutcracker. From here to entering into the magic land of fairies, giants and puppets who sing joyfully The Waltz of the Snowflakes, there is but one step…

We are looking forward to seeing you step together in the crystalline lyric globe, and discover the story!

The performance has one break and ends around 8.30 p.m.
Recommended age: 3+
