European Classical Ballet with Tatyjana Melnyik

This production is performed by the renowned European Classical Ballet, with Tatyjana Melnyik appearing as the evening’s featured étoile.

Melnyik trained at the prestigious Perm Ballet Academy and has been a member of the Hungarian State Opera since 2015. Her career includes principal roles with major ballet companies, international competition prizes and recognition as Étoile of the Hungarian National Ballet for both the 2019/20 and 2023/24 seasons.

Her presence adds an important international dimension to this performance, combining the precision of classical ballet training with the dramatic expression required by Tchaikovsky’s celebrated score.

A Magical Christmas Ballet in Rome

The Nutcracker begins during a Christmas Eve celebration, when a young girl receives an enchanted Nutcracker doll. As the night unfolds, the familiar world around her transforms into a dreamlike adventure filled with toy soldiers, the Mouse King, falling snow and the dazzling Kingdom of Sweets.

Tchaikovsky’s score includes some of the most recognisable music in classical ballet, from the delicate Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to the sweeping Waltz of the Flowers. The combination of storytelling, music, costumes and classical choreography makes The Nutcracker suitable for experienced ballet audiences, families and travellers attending their first ballet performance.

The Nutcracker at Auditorium Conciliazione

Auditorium Conciliazione is located on Via della Conciliazione, only a short walk from St Peter’s Basilica and Castel Sant’Angelo. Its central setting makes the performance easy to combine with an evening in Rome’s historic Borgo district.

The main auditorium accommodates more than 1,700 spectators and has hosted classical concerts, theatre, musicals and dance productions since the 1950s.

When selecting tickets, central seats generally provide the clearest overall view of the choreography and stage design, while seats closer to the stage offer a more detailed view of the dancers, costumes and individual performances.
