Join Clara in an enchanted dreamland as she befriends the Nutcracker and goes on a magical Christmas Eve journey in this mesmerising ACO Families production, returning for the third time this December due to popular demand.
Created in collaboration with former Artistic Director of The Australian Ballet David McAllister, this clever adaptation of the much-loved ballet brings together Tchaikovsky’s beloved music, performed live by an ACO Families quintet, with dance and narration in an immersive theatrical experience.
The ACO’s The Nutcracker is the perfect introduction to live classical music and ballet, guaranteed to captivate and delight the whole family this festive season.
