Gothenburg’s most magical Christmas production, featuring dancers from the Royal Swedish Ballet and the Swedish Youth Ballet, alongside the Göteborg Opera Orchestra. Bring the whole family to a performance brimming with classical ballet, a spell-binding story, and the true spirit of Christmas.

Experience this much-loved festive tale as Clara and her Nutcracker soldier embark on an enchanting adventure. Under the spell of Christmas Eve, they encounter an army of mice, lose themselves in a swirling snowstorm, and arrive at a gingerbread castle where Christmas sweets come to life. As the Nutcracker and Clara are transformed into a prince and princess, they dance together to Tchaikovsky’s exquisite score, performed live by the Göteborg Opera Orchestra.

A smaller version of this production was staged at Lorensbergsteatern in Christmas 2024—now experience it in all its splendour with a full live orchestra!

A collaboration with the Swedish Youth Ballet.

Soloists from The Royal Swedish Ballet
Dancers from Svenska Unga Baletten as well as ex-dancers from GöteborgsOperans Danskompani
