Without The Nutcracker, the holiday season wouldn’t be the same. To see it in Dubai, you’ll need to head to Dubai Opera on Friday December 16 or Saturday December 17. The Nutcracker, performed by the legendary Moscow ballet “La Classique,” is a Tchaikovsky classic and from the music to the clothes to, of course, the dancing, this performance is stunning. This holiday season, you must not miss this nostalgic performance that will take you to Clara and the Nutcrackers’ realm. Tickets start from Dhs350.
