Thank you for purchasing tickets to our production of The Nutcracker! We know that many families look forward to Hong Kong Ballet’s traditional Christmas production of The Nutcracker every year and come together to celebrate the warmth of the holidays. You may have been anticipating seeing the courageous Nutcracker and Clara battling the Rat King and going on a magical journey with the Nutcracker Prince and the Ballerina. You may have been eagerly waiting to see our artists showcase their beautiful dance numbers and outstanding technique to Tchaikovsky’s iconic music and Terence Kohler’s whimsical choreography.
However, in light of the pandemic’s surge, the government has announced that all LCSD venues, including Hong Kong Cultural Centre, The Nutcracker’s venue, will be closed from 10 December 2020 until further notice. Therefore, it is with heavy hearts that we must cancel the 15 performances scheduled 17-27 December. We sincerely thank you for purchasing The Nutcracker tickets, and we understand your disappointment right now. This decision is tough for everyone—for those who have purchased tickets and for us who have invested so much into the production. We’ve put our hearts and souls into preparing for this production, wanting to provide families with a joyous, festive experience during these challenging times.
While we will now present a recorded performance in an alternative way, with the intent to share festive joy to as many families as possible, we hope you could consider making a generous holiday gift to the children of Hong Kong, by donating your tickets to support Hong Kong Ballet’s Student Ticket Fund which underwrites the 50% ticket price for our student audiences. Your donation will be a precious Christmas gift to children all over Hong Kong in this difficult time.
Alternatively, you may consider exchanging your tickets for one of three every special upcoming shows:
