The Nutcracker - Schedule, Program & Tickets
The Nutcracker
Fairy tale ballet in three acts
Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker has been an integral part of the opera's pre-Christmas season for decades. In memory of Vasili Vainonen and Gusztáv Oláh, we presented a revamped show for the first time at Christmas 2015, which follows the classical ballet tradition and yet meets the requirements of the dance and stage design of the 21st century. The collaboration with Tamás Solymosi to choreograph a new fairy tale ballet for the classical piece of music is a true nutcracker specialist: the internationally renowned Wayne Eagling. It is the first time in the life of the Hungarian National Ballet that an artist of international standing develops a choreography specially tailored to its members and is inspired by them.
“This new choreography by Wayne Eagling and Tamás Solymosi is not only modern and brilliant, as one would expect, but also a kind of homage to the legend, as one might call it, to the creative work of Vasili Vainonen and Gusztáv Oláh. The latter regarded the sets for The Nutcracker as the greatest "show" of his life, which is continuously reflected in Beáta Vavrinecz's own sets in the current production. Nóra Rományi's costumes are classic, beautiful and timeless. ”(Eszter Veronika Kiss, Mno.hu)
