The Nutcracker Spectacular

The Nutcracker Spectacular is an in-person, full-length holiday ballet for the general public.

Melbourne City Ballet Theatre, in partnership with Classical Movement Collective, presents this classical production, bringing local dancers together with featured artists. Set to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s beloved score, the ballet follows Clara on a magical Christmas Eve journey. After a festive family celebration, her treasured Nutcracker comes to life, battles the Mouse Queen, and leads her through a winter wonderland to the enchanting Land of Sweets.

Audiences can enjoy party scenes, toy soldiers, snow, character dances, and classical ballet, while experiencing the artistry and community of local dancers. The production is presented as a full-length ballet in two acts. Attendees should bring a folding chair or blanket to enjoy this show and the other Holiday festivities!
