The Nutcracker

Hong Kong Ballet

Grand Theatre,

Hong Kong Cultural Centre

Ends December 26

The Hong Kong Ballet returns with Stephen Jefferies' production of Tchaikovsky's Christmas classic for the ninth consecutive season.

In this version, Clara is a girl who is given a nutcracker doll by the magician Drosselmeyer and develops a crush on his handsome nephew. On Christmas night she dreams that the house is attacked by rats; that she and the Nutcracker defeat the Rat King, and the Nutcracker is transformed into Drosselmeyer's nephew. Together they journey to the Kingdom of Sweets, where dances from around the world are performed for them, and they twirl together before she returns home - and wakes up.
