Jeroen Verbruggen waves his magic wand and boldly rids Tchaikovsky’s fairy-tale of its Christmas tree and its sugar plums, transforming it into a new and enchanting Nutcracker with the help of Paris couturiers “on aura tout vu”, This magical production has been streamed to thousands of Internet users and many major stages are eager to host it, but seeing it live at the Grand Théâtre, for the first or the second time, is a treat not to be missed. With its monumental chandelier and its mysterious wardrobe, festooned with Gorgons and eagles, shifting shapes and moving between the worlds of dreams and desire, the Geneva Ballet’s Nutcracker invites you to re-experience a fairy-tale for both children and grown-ups, before the production begins its international tour.
