After a long break, the Christmas adventure is back at the Royal Swedish Opera. Orphans Petter and Lotta are living with Aunt Green, Aunt Brown and Aunt Lavender, with whom they will celebrate their first Christmas. The children do not want to go to bed in the evening and ask if they can sleep under the Christmas tree. Christmas night turns out to be a magic night.
The ballet classic Nutcracker, with iconic music by Piotr Tchaikovsky, is one of the Royal Swedish Opera’s all-time successes. This popular version from 1995 is choreographed by Pär Isberg and the setting is based on the story Petters och Lottas jul by the Swedish author of children’s books Elsa Beskow.
