Ballet Manila and Steps Dance Studio

11 Dec 2026

Neighbourhood

Makati

Good to know

Four performances only and the December calendar in Makati fills up fast. The Saturday and Sunday matinees are the easier choice with small children. This is a different Nutcracker from the Ballet Philippines production the following weekend in Bonifacio Global City.

About this event

Artists from Ballet Manila join dancers from Steps Dance Studio for a full length Nutcracker restaged by Jeffrey Espejo, with sets and costumes by Gino Gonzales and lighting by Monino Duque. Four performances across one December weekend, with the Tchaikovsky score played straight and the whole journey from the Mouse King to the Land of the Sweets. Presented by Ayala Land, Circuit Makati and the Samsung Performing Arts Theater.
