The Nutcracker | Ballet and Orchestra comes to Liège as part of a tour during the 2026--2027 season. The Paris Ballet Theater performs the two-act ballet, which uses Tchaikovsky's music and Petipa's libretto and is based on Ivanov's choreography. The story follows young Clara, who receives a nutcracker shaped like a little man as a Christmas gift.

On Christmas Eve the toy comes to life and leads her through a battle against mice and a journey through a fairy-tale kingdom where flowers and snowflakes dance. The ballet premiered in December 1892 at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg.

The performance lasts 2h10 including intermission. Tickets start from €48.
