If you took up ballet as a kid, you probably remember the iconic Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy piece from The Nutcracker—perhaps from the classic Barbie in the Nutcracker animated movie or your ballerina music box.

Now, you can see it live! Crescendo Asia is bringing this holiday tradition to Singapore with Saint Petersburg National Ballet Theatre on 8 December 2024 at The Theatre at Mediacorp.

For over 35 years, The Nutcracker ballet has always been a holiday favourite. The story follows Clara, a young girl who receives a nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve. As she dreams, Clara is whisked away on an adventure where toys come alive, mice battles, and she journeys through magical lands with her Nutcracker prince.

Set to Tchaikovsky’s timeless score, The Nutcracker comes alive with iconic pieces like the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Waltz of the Flowers. We can already imagine hearing these pieces and watching professional ballet dancers bring them to life; its going to be magical!
