Written in 1816, revived by Dumas and made unforgettable by Tchaikovsky’s music, here glitters in Iacopo Bruno’s visionary and rich interpretation.
It’s Christmas night and little Marie Stahlbaum receives the gift of a beautiful wooden nutcracker. It seems like any other toy, but when the moment is right the nutcracker comes to life and reveals its wonderful magic, capable of defending Marie from the evil Mouse King with seven heads and seven crowns.
