Carlos Acosta's Nutcracker In Havana

Event details

Step into a dance celebration like no other with Carlos Acosta’s Nutcracker in Havana — a vibrant reimagining of the beloved classic ballet performed by 20 exceptional dancers.


Bursting with colour, warmth and Cuban spirit, this dazzling new production transforms Tchaikovsky’s timeless ballet into a joyous tribute to life, love, family and the magic of Havana.

Showcasing a stunning ensemble of over 20 world-class dancers from Acosta Danza, Carlos Acosta’s acclaimed Havana-based company, this Nutcracker keeps the heart of the classic tale: a young girl swept into a wondrous world, while infusing it with the rich culture, rhythms and history of Cuba.

A global dance legend with a 17-year career at The Royal Ballet and celebrated choreographer of Carmen and Don Quixote, Carlos Acosta now brings his signature creative spark to a story perfectly poised for reinvention. Expect breathtaking choreography, irresistible energy and a Nutcracker unlike anything you’ve seen before.
