Original title
The Nutcracker on Ice 2026 – Natal
What you need to know
- Two cities, two nights: Saturday at Sagres Campo Pequeno in Lisbon, Monday at Casino Estoril, each with its own ticket page
- Evening start on both nights, so it runs past bedtime for most preschoolers, and Monday is a school night
- A mixed bill, not pure ballet: skating, acrobatics and dance take turns, which holds young kids better than a full classical Nutcracker
About
A Christmas version of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, told on ice. Figure skaters from Germany, ballet dancers from Vienna's Wiener Stadtballett and circus acrobats from Cuba and Mexico share one stage, with LED backdrops and fairy-tale costumes. It suits kids who like spectacle and music more than a tightly told story, and it is a gentler first taste of the Nutcracker than a full classical ballet.
