Music, dance and fairy-tale in one evening..

Three emblematic companies of the City of Culture: the Pannon Philharmonic, Ballet Pécs and Bóbita Puppet Theatre have come together for the very first time to bring magic to the spectacular concert hall of Kodály Centre this Christmas. They will put new life into The Nutcracker with the magical power of music, ballet and puppet art. The Nutcracker is a Christmas classic that enchants every generation. 

The exciting cooperation of the three iconic artistic communities of Pécs promises a one of a kind experience for the little ones as well as the adults accompanying them.
