The Czech National Ballet will visit Tampere Hall with their popular The Nutcracker – A Christmas Carol ballet for three performances on 20 and 21 November 2026. Youri Vàmos’ choreography and scenario combine the classic Nutcracker ballet with Charles Dickens’ timeless novella A Christmas Carol.
Tampere Hall is delighted to present the Czech National Ballet’s revived version of The Nutcracker – A Christmas Carol. The scenario, choreography and direction have been conceived by the legendary Hungarian dancer and choreographer Youri Vàmos. The mesmerising music, composed by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, will be performed by the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Václav Zahradník.
