Sir Peter Wright's beloved production of The Nutcracker returns to Sydney Opera House to enchant audiences. With earlier start times, The Nutcracker is the perfect ballet to create a new family tradition.

In The Nutcracker, Tchaikovsky's last ballet score, with its famous motifs and melodies, draws us into the story of Clara, a young ballet student celebrating with her family on Christmas Eve.

World-renowned designer John F Macfarlane exquisitely evokes the world of this ballet: whirling snowflakes, crackling fires, bandbox soldiers, a Christmas tree that grows until it brushes the ceiling, and a Sugar Plum Fairy in luscious candy-floss pink.

Do not miss your chance to experience the magic of The Nutcracker.
