About the event

One Christmas Eve, young Masha is given a wooden Nutcracker — and at midnight, the world turns to magic. The tree soars, toys come to life, good battles evil, and a fairy-tale kingdom opens its gates. Tchaikovsky's most beloved score — pure wonder, danced live on stage.

The Original, From the City Where It Was Born

The Saint Petersburg National Ballet Theatre — whose main stage is the legendary Hermitage Theatre — brings around 40 dancers, authentic full-size costumes and grand sets. Leading the company are soloists Oksana Bondareva (Mariinsky) and Ivan Sitnikov (Mariinsky). Over 5,000 performances across 45+ countries — world-class ballet in the Vaganova tradition.

For Everyone

The world's most famous ballet needs no language and no subtitles — a first ballet to remember, moving at any age, for locals and expats alike. A date night, family time, a couple's tradition — celebrate Christmas and the New Year together, or make it the gift of the season for those who deserve the best.

Your Once-a-Year Reset

Not noise — music and movement. Not scrolling — immersion. Two hours to switch off the year's stress and sink into a fairy tale: elegant, photogenic, worth dressing up for. An evening you won't just watch — but remember.
