## Good to know

Buy on Megatix; the promoter says tickets from resellers or third-party sites will not be admitted. Minimum age is 3 and every guest needs a ticket. Code EARLYBIRD10 gives 10% off while early-bird seats last (not on Royal tickets). No outside food, professional cameras or flash. There is no cloakroom, so travel light. There are 2 wheelchair spaces in the front row, so book early if you need one. The Saturday 2 PM matinee is the promoter's pick for young children.

## About this event

The Saint Petersburg National Ballet Theatre performs The Nutcracker at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, which the promoter calls the first time the original St. Petersburg production has come to Manila. About 40 dancers perform, with soloists Oksana Bondareva and Ivan Sitnikov of the Mariinsky. The music is a recording by the Hermitage Orchestra, and the show runs about two hours with a 30-minute interval.
