Opera
, too. There will be a chorus singing before the performances at the evening on the terrace of
Acapella
on Hajós Street, and there also will be an open air puppet show by
Kolibri Theatre
.
The mulled wine will be sold for charity purposes once again, there will be roasted chestnut,
OperaShop
will be there, and you can also buy many music themed books and records on a discounted price thanks to Könyvtárellátó Nonprofit Kft. The proceeds will be donated to the Hungarian Interchurch Aid. In small cottages the Opera’s leading artists will sell and measure and everyone can take a photo with the giant Nutcracker figure as well as with the Sfinx dressed for winter, or the giant sleigh on the terrace of the building’s Dalszínház Street side, which takes you right into the magical world of The Nutcracker. The legendary ballet production that stayed the same since 1950 will be on stage 21 times.
