The Nutcracker ASEAN Tour 2026
THE NUTCRACKER RETURNS TO KUALA LUMPUR
Back after the sold-out 2024 season — and this time, one night only. The Saint Petersburg National Ballet Theatre brings the original Nutcracker to KLCC Plenary Hall this Christmas.
——————————————————
One Christmas Eve, young Masha is given a wooden Nutcracker — and at midnight, the world turns to magic. The tree soars, toys come to life, good battles evil, and a fairy-tale kingdom opens its gates. Tchaikovsky’s most beloved score — pure wonder, live on stage.
The original, from the city where it was born. The Saint Petersburg National Ballet Theatre — whose main stage is the legendary Hermitage Theatre — with ~40 dancers, authentic full-size costumes, grand sets, and soloists Oksana Bondareva (Mariinsky) and Ivan Sitnikov (Mariinsky). Over 5,000 performances across 45+ countries — world-class ballet in the Vaganova tradition.
For everyone. The world’s most famous ballet needs no language and no subtitles — the perfect first ballet, magical at 3, moving at 93, for locals and expats alike. A date night, family time, a couple’s tradition — celebrate Christmas and the New Year together, or make it the gift of the season for those who deserve the best.
Your once-a-year reset. Not noise — music and movement. Not scrolling — immersion. Two hours to switch off the year’s stress and sink into a fairy tale: elegant, photogenic, worth dressing up for. An evening you won’t just watch — but remember.
