The Nutcracker and the Mouse King

About the Event

By popular demand, the traditional Christmas ballet returns to the Finnish National Ballet!

The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is set in wintry Porvoo, where Klaara is invited on a fantastic journey on Christmas night. She encounters an army of mice, exotic visitors from far‐off lands and a nutcracker who is actually a Prince under a magic spell. This warm‐hearted ballet is a must for the whole family!

Recommended for children aged 5 and over.
