The Busan Opera House Ballet will bring Tchaikovsky’s holiday classic “The Nutcracker” to Busan Concert Hall at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 27 and 5 p.m. Nov. 28. Performed with a live orchestra and accompanied by commentary, the production guides audiences of all ages through the story of a young girl’s magical dream on Christmas Eve, offering an early welcome to the holiday season.
With new choreography created for this production, the performance offers an accessible introduction for first-time ballet audiences and a fresh take for those who already know the classic.
Hoi-woong Ryu, a former dancer with the Korean National Ballet, will oversee choreography and direction. Kwang-hyun Kim, music director of the Classic Busan Orchestra, will conduct.
The ballet unfolds in two acts, with the orchestra joined by the Classic Busan Choir, whose voices add depth to Tchaikovsky’s score and the festive atmosphere.
All seats are 30,000 won, with discounts for eligible groups. The performance runs about 110 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission, and is open to children 48 months and older. Tickets are available through Classic Busan and NOL Ticket, linked below.
