It wouldn't really be Christmas without the Nutcracker in the Musikhuset. Look forward to an authentic Christmas adventure for the whole family with live music.
There is a full guarantee of an instant Christmas atmosphere when the Royal Ballet's adventurous family performance The Nutcracker takes the stage in the Great Hall, according to tradition. George Balanchine's popular ballet has enchanted children and adults around the world since 1954, and in Musikhuset it won't really be Christmas until the Nutcracker is brought to life.

The Royal Theatre's ballet master, Nikolaj Hübbe, is behind the staging, while Anthony Ward is behind the colorful scenography. In the orchestra pit sits the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra led by Holly Mathieson and completes the experience.

Action
Clara receives the most amazing nutcracker as a Christmas gift from her godfather Drosselmeier, and at midnight it takes her on a magical journey to the enchanted and enchanting slafferland, where anything can happen. Fantasy and poetry knows no bounds when Clara meets dancing snowflakes and waltzing flowers, icy snow queens and warm-blooded sugar fairies, cheeky mice, marzipan shepherdesses and many, many others on her journey.

The wonderful and strange tale of the enigmatic Nutcracker was originally written by the eccentric German writer ETA Hoffmann in 1816. In 1892 Tchaikovsky composed his iconic music for the story, and with its many recognizable, catchy and imaginative themes today it is one of the most beloved works in music history.

The Nutcracker is among ballet's greatest classics, and in George Balanchine's masterful version, the magic and the adventure have been turned up all the way. Look forward to an enchanting evening for the whole family!

Det bliver ikke rigtig jul uden Nøddeknækkeren i Musikhuset. Glæd dig til et vaskeægte juleeventyr for hele familien med levende musik.
Der er fuld garanti for øjeblikkelig julestemning, når Den Kongelige Ballets eventyrlige familieforestilling Nøddeknækkeren traditionen tro indtager scenen i Store sal. George Balanchines populære ballet har siden 1954 fortryllet børn og voksne verden over, og i Musikhuset bliver det ikke rigtig jul, før Nøddeknækkeren bliver vakt til live.

Det Kongelige Teaters balletmester, Nikolaj Hübbe, står bag iscenesættelsen, mens Anthony Ward står bag den farverige scenografi. I orkestergraven sidder Aarhus Symfoniorkester ledet af Holly Mathieson og fuldender oplevelsen.

Handlingen
Clara får den mest fantastiske nøddeknækker i julegave af sin gudfar Drosselmeier, og ved midnat tager den hende med på en magisk rejse til det fortryllede og fortryllende slaraffenland, hvor alt kan ske. Fantasien og poesien kender ingen grænser, når Clara på sin færd møder dansende snefnug og valsende blomster, iskolde snedronninger og varmblodige sukkerfeer, frække mus, marcipanhyrdinder og mange, mange andre.

Det forunderlige og sælsomme eventyr om den gådefulde nøddeknækker blev oprindeligt skrevet af den excentriske, tyske forfatter E.T.A. Hoffmann i 1816. I 1892 komponerede Tjajkovskij sin ikoniske musik til fortællingen, og den er med sine mange genkendelige, iørefaldende og fantasifulde temaer i dag et af de mest elskede værker i musikhistorien.

Nøddeknækkeren er blandt ballettens største klassikere, og i George Balanchines mesterlige version er der skruet helt op for trylleriet og eventyret. Glæd dig til en fortryllende aften for hele familien!
