Christmas Time in the Krakow Opera - "The Nutcracker" and a Christmas Concert
The Artists of our Opera want to give the audience a moment of joy, emotion, breath from everyday life and the unique mood that Christmas time brings. So they prepared a special Christmas repertoire.
December 20 at 12:00 pm, there will be a performance of "The Nutcracker" - one of the most famous classical ballets. It tells the story of a girl who, thanks to a Christmas toy, a nutcracker, wanders through a fairy-tale wonderland, where everything is possible, like in a dream...
The author of the staging presented in our theatre is Emil Wesołowski, an outstanding Polish choreographer. Marek Grabowski's painting scenery leads the viewer through fairy-tale worlds. Fabulous, fancy costumes were designed by Maria Balcerek.
The spectacle will be performed by the Ballet (main roles include Mizuki Kurosawa, Gabriele Togni, Yauheni Raukuts, Agnieszka Chlebowska), Ballet Studio, Children's Choir and Orchestra conducted by Joachim Kołpanowicz.
The live broadcast will be available on the Play Krakow platform. The sale of transmission access for PLN 10 will start 2 hours before the spectacle.
