Magic on the Amsterdam canals
According to German folk legend, nutcrackers bring good luck. And that’s certainly proven true for the international ballet world. Since the premiere of the original version in 1892, The Nutcracker has become the most popular ballet in the world, especially around Christmas time. That’s also the case in the Netherlands, where 325,000 people have already been enchanted by the heart-warming version of the ballet created by Toer van Schayk and Wayne Eagling.
Performed by the Dutch National Ballet, The Dutch Ballet Orchestra lead by Koen Kessels
