Get ready for a real Christmas story for both children and adults when we present the most Christmassy ballet of them all, Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker . 

It is Christmas Eve at the Stahlbaum family, and daughter Clara is anxiously waiting to see the beautiful Christmas tree and open the many presents. But the handsome nutcracker she gets as a present from her uncle is not quite normal, because when the clock strikes twelve, the whole living room is transformed, and Clara is sucked into a genuine Christmas adventure, where she and the nutcracker must fight against the mouse king and the Snow Queen before they can head for the slafferland made of candy and populated by toys. 

The Nutcracker is packed with so many well-known melodies that the entire ballet could easily be on a playlist of the greatest classical hits, and it is certain that both the youngest beginners and the Christmas-savvy adults can all have a great musical experience when we simultaneously gets the skilled ballet dancers from the KOMA ballet to bring the flowers, the snow queen, the candy fairy, the mouse king and the many other fairy-tale characters to life. Christmas atmosphere is guaranteed for both young and old.  

Choreographer Alessandro Sousa Pereira pays tribute with his young dancers and neoclassical choreography to the traditional Christmas spirit that the Nutcracker evokes in children and adults: the joy of imagination, magic and anticipation.

English

Gør jer klar til en rigtig julehistorie for både børn og voksne, når vi præsenterer den mest julede ballet over dem alle, nemlig Tjajkovskijs Nøddeknækkeren. 

Det er juleaften hos familien Stahlbaum, og datteren Clara venter spændt på at se det smukke juletræ og åbne de mange gaver. Men den flotte nøddeknækker, hun får i gave af sin onkel, er ikke helt normal, for da klokken slår tolv, bliver hele stuen forvandlet, og Clara bliver suget med ind i et vaskeægte juleeventyr, hvor hun sammen med nøddeknækkeren må kæmpe mod musekongen og snedronningen, inden de kan drage mod slaraffenlandet, der er lavet af slik og befolket af legetøj. 

Nøddeknækkeren er proppet med så mange kendte melodier, at hele balletten uden problemer kunne ligge på en playliste med de største klassiske hits, og det er sikkert, at både de yngste nybegyndere og de julekyndige voksne alle kan få en stor musikalsk oplevelse, når vi samtidig får de dygtige balletdansere fra KOMA-ballet til at levendegøre blomsterne, snedronningen, bolsjefeen, musekongen og de mange andre eventyrlige figurer. Der er garanteret julestemning for både store og små.  

Koreograf Alessandro Sousa Pereira hylder med sine unge dansere og neoklassisk koreografi den traditionelle julestemning, som Nøddeknækkeren fremkalder i børn og voksne: Glæden ved fantasi, magi og forventning.
