Family Concert: Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky, P. I., -tól (2024/2024), Karmester David Bruchez-Lalli, Tonhalle Zürich, Zurich, Switzerland

For Christmas, Clara receives a nutcracker as a gift, which comes to life in the night, transforms into a handsome young prince and flies with her to his kingdom. The narrative of Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker" is just as playful, fairytale-like and romantic as the music itself. The well-known melodies, played by the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich and danced by dancers from the Yen Han Dance Centre, open up a magical fantasy world and take the audience, young and old, on a dream journey into the realm of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Mouse King.
