El Petit Liceu brings a fresh take on The Nutcracker, blending classical ballet with live jazz arrangements performed by the Liceu Conservatory Jazz Ensemble. Puppets, dancers, and musicians come together to tell the story of Daniela and her mother as they work to break a spell and rescue Piri, celebrating values like courage, friendship, and respect along the way. This is a vibrant, contemporary reimagining of a classic that will captivate children from age 6 onwards.
