The Nutcracker and The Mouse King | Opera Zurich | Marquee TV

Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker as you haven't seen it before ... This beautiful version from Opera Zurich emphasises the fantastical nature of the original Christmas story, bringing back the fairytale of the Princess Pirlipat, who turns into a nut monster as told by E.T.A. Hoffmann. In Rufus Didwiszus’ stage setting, the workshop of the godfather Drosselmeier turns into an old revue-theater, where the characters of the ballet come to life.
