The Nutcracker at Playhouse, QPAC

When good children should be tucked up in bed, little Clara is still wide awake, and creeps downstairs to play with her shiny, new Nutcracker doll. Snow falls softly, Christmas lights sparkle, the clock chimes midnight - and a wondrous fantasy world unfolds! Clara is swept into a land of beauty and magic, where glittering snowflakes dance and brave toy soldiers come to life.

With the magnificent music of Tchaikovsky, sumptuous sets and costumes, and thrilling dance, this brand new production of The Nutcracker is a must-see Christmas treat. 2013 heralds the start of a new seasonal tradition in Brisbane - gather your family and join us to welcome each summer holiday season with this delightfully festive ballet.
