About this event

A roughly one-hour, free-admission soirée offering a preview of the upcoming premiere of The Nutcracker – A Christmas Carol at the Aalto-Theater. The production dramaturge speaks on stage with members of the creative team about choreography, musical features and the background of the score. Dancers of Aalto Ballett Essen present short choreographic excerpts from the new production. The event is held in German and is aimed at audiences who want to get to know the ballet in advance. This is not a full performance but a talk plus excerpts.
