THE NUTCRACKER – A CHRISTMAS CAROL 

Youri Vámos’ ballet inspired by the works of Charles Dickens and E. T. A. Hoffmann 

A dance evening full of colours, Christmas sparkle, and magic on stage for people of all ages. Set in 19th-century London, the story is about the magical power of Christmas that transforms people's characters. Hungarian choreographer and former artistic director of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein Youri Vámos has blended The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E. T. A. Hoffmann with Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Clara and the Nutcracker Prince thus encounter an adversary, the old boorish usurer Scrooge, a heartless eccentric who hates and despises Christmas. Scrooge goes so far as fires his clerk Bob Cratchit on Christmas Day. Now Bob cannot even afford to give his young daughter Clara the coveted Nutcracker doll. However, the same night Scrooge is haunted by terrible nightmares, and when he wakes up the next morning, his character has changed... 

A production by NDM Ballet. Premiered on 10.11.2022 at the Antonín Dvořák Theatre, Ostrava, Czech Republic.
