Upcoming: The Nutcracker: Family Ballet at Real Teatro de Retiro




Tchaikovsky's Christmas ballet, adapted by África Guzmán Dance Project and danced by young dancers from its ballet school. Clara gets a nutcracker on Christmas Eve, it comes to life, fights the Mouse Queen and her army, then takes her to the Kingdom of Sweets for a feast of dances. The story is told through dance, so it suits kids who speak no Spanish and can sit through a long show.
More family picks, Friday to Sunday.
