Classical Ballet of Naples “The Nutcracker” in Germany 2025–2026
The magical Christmas classic by Pyotr Tchaikovsky on a new European tour 2025–2026
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s legendary ballet “The Nutcracker” comes to life on stage once again — performed by the Italian company Classical Ballet of Naples, presenting an updated version of one of the most iconic works of world choreography.
For more than a century, “The Nutcracker” has remained an essential part of Christmas traditions and a symbol of magic, music and childhood dreams. In the 2025–2026 season, this timeless masterpiece sets off on tour to bring audiences the spirit of celebration, beauty and inspiration.
The Classical Ballet of Naples’ production combines a respectful approach to Tchaikovsky’s original music and choreography with a fresh contemporary stage vision. Audiences will experience the story of Clara — a young girl who embarks on a magical journey on Christmas Eve, where toys come alive, armies of mice battle and the enchantment of kindness and love prevails.
Every aspect of the performance — from elegant costumes to impressive lighting — creates a theatrical world where the Christmas tale becomes reality. The dancers’ refined technique, expressive acting and graceful plasticity turn the production into a highlight of the season.
Tchaikovsky’s music is the heart of the ballet. Its trembling, radiant melodies transport the audience into a realm of wonder, where dreams awaken and anything becomes possible.
“Especially at Christmas, ‘The Nutcracker’ is more than a ballet. It is a doorway into a world where miracles can happen. For one night we believe again: anything is possible — if love guides us,” notes the artistic direction of the company.
The Classical Ballet of Naples’ 2025–2026 tour of “The Nutcracker” promises to be a major event for lovers of classical art and a true holiday gift for the whole family.
