The dancers of the Kiev Ballet perform everyone’s favourite Christmas ballet at the Murcia auditorium

The Nutcracker is undoubtedly the world’s favourite Christmas ballet, and the action is set on Christmas Eve, when little Clara receives a nutcracker doll. The doll is brought to life by the magic of Christmas, along with all the festive sweeties and the Sugar Plum Fairy.
