Hong Kong Sinfonietta will provide live accompaniment to Hong Kong Ballet’s selected performances of The Nutcracker under the baton of Music Director Emeritus Yip Wing-sie and Associate Conductor Vivian Ip.
The ultimate holiday tradition returns with Septime Webre’s timeless classic The Nutcracker, filled with Tchaikovsky’s world-famous score, opulent sets and costumes and beloved Hong Kong elements that enchant audiences year after year.
On Christmas Eve, Clara, Fritz and the Nutcracker Prince embark on a magical journey through a snowy bamboo forest, battle the villainous Rat King and encounter a host of whimsical characters, including blossoming bauhinias, playful peacocks and dancing dim sum. From snowflakes to sword fights to the fantastical Christmas tree that reaches the sky, The Nutcracker abounds in spectacle and wonder while celebrating our city’s rich cultural tapestry and bringing out the child in everyone!
