The Nutcracker at Semperoper, Dresden

About the Event

Experience ballet like never before in this astonishing performance of masterworks by Tchaikovsky at Dresden's remarkable Semperoper.

This ballet reveals the secrets of the world of children's imagination to the listener and viewer. Klara, who seems to be the main figure in the ballet, is a passive viewer of the events that take place in the land of the Sugar Bourgeoisie. It is like a girl's dream.

The music definitely surpasses the text idea of ballet. It reflects the charm of the land of children's imagination, but there is something else in it. This music cannot be described only in words. Truly an event not to be missed!
