About The Nutcracker

Dive into the dreamy world of “The Nutcracker,” an enchanting Christmas ballet set to the iconic score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Hosted in the historic Hybernia Theatre on Náměstí Republiky, this performance pays homage to the original choreography of Lev Ivanov. Since its debut at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg in 1892, “The Nutcracker” has secured its place as a global ballet classic.

Our rendition, masterfully choreographed by Alexander Kysil, spans 105 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission. It’s tailored to captivate both adults and young enthusiasts alike.

Embark on a captivating journey with Clara and her cherished toy, the Nutcracker. As Christmas Eve unfolds, you’ll be left pondering: Is this tale of magic, love, and dreams merely a fantasy or reality? Was the puppet show Clara witnessed merely a show or a prelude to a magical night? And is Uncle Drosselmeyer truly a magician? Join us, and awaken the genuine spirit of Christmas. Discover the answers in a realm where imagination knows no bounds.

Venue

Located in the heart of Prague’s Old Town, the Broadway Theatre, once a celebrated cinema, now stands as a modern hub for ballet in Prague. Designed in the 1930s by architects Bohumir Kozak and Antonin Cerný, this venue has witnessed history, from hosting Metro Goldwyn Mayer to undergoing various name changes reflecting Prague’s evolving socio-political landscape. Renowned Czech art historian, Jiří Hilmera, celebrated its unique architecture that encapsulated the golden era of Prague’s performing arts. Today, the Broadway Theatre remains an emblem of Prague’s enduring passion for ballet.
