About
This version of the classic Christmas ballet keeps Tchaikovsky's famous melodies but hands them to a live jazz band, so kids hear tunes they may already know played as jazz. Instead of tutus, a big cast of dancers in bright, playful costumes tells the story through contemporary dance. It plays in the Liceu's main hall, so it doubles as a first look inside Barcelona's grand red-and-gold opera house.
