About
The Romanian National Opera's full-length staging of Tchaikovsky's ballet, in its repertoire since 2018. Clara, the Nutcracker and the Mouse King tell the story through dance, with no dialogue to follow, so it works whatever language your kid speaks. The opera's own orchestra plays live, and its children's choir joins the ballet company. It suits kids who can sit through a long show; toddlers will struggle.
