At midnight on Christmas Eve, little Clara begins a magical journey into a wondrous world of toys who come to life, King Rat and his giant mice, delicate dancing snowflakes and the beautiful Sugar Plum Fairy, who reigns over the Kingdom of Sweets.

The Nutcracker is one of world’s most beloved ballets. Accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s famous score, this is an enchanting experience for the whole family.

Tony Award-winning designer Desmond Heeley’s spectacular costume designs come together with Thomas Boyd’s magical sets to transform Clara’s home into a sparkling wonderland of snow and unexpected delights.

For the first time in its 55-year history, Queensland Ballet will bring The Nutcracker(one of its sentimental favourites) to the national capital.

Invite your loved ones to share the wonder of Christmas with this truly magical production.
