Seating plan
Music theater based on the opera and ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
In German language
Music theater for the whole family: the Vienna Volksoper presents an evening with two masterpieces by Tchaikovsky: the opera Iolanthe and the ballet The Nutcracker.
Jolanthe is a blind princess. A famous doctor is able to cure her, but only after she has been told about her blindness. Her father, however, does not want to bring this news to her, he wants to spare her pain at all costs. An unexpected visitor, the lover-to-be, explains to the princess what it means to be able to see. A rupture through the ordered structures of childhood leads not only in Jolanthe, but also in Tchaikovsky's ballet into a new world: a girl discovers a prince in a nutcracker, with whom she embarks on a dream journey to a fairytale land of milk and honey.
Lotte de Beer, Andrey Kaydanovskiy and music director Omer Meir Wellber intertwine the two works into a story about growing up and learning to see the world for what it is. The nutcracker music and the dancers of the Vienna State Ballet show us the world of Jolanthe's inner eye. "There comes a time in life when you have to decide whether you want to remain a blind princess or see the world in all its imperfections," says Lotte de Beer.
