Where: Teatro de Cancún
Teatro de Cancún hosts two touring versions of The Nutcracker in 2026. World Ballet Tour performs on 6 and 7 November; Russian State Ballet Mary El follows on 20 December. Both turn to Tchaikovsky’s music and Christmas fantasy, but they are different companies with separate tickets.
The story told through ballet
Clara and her gift of a Nutcracker doll are at the centre of the story. A festive evening turns into an adventure: a battle with the Mouse King gives way to a journey to the Kingdom of Sweets. Dance and music lead from the familiar home into a fairy-tale world.
This can be an introduction to classical ballet or a cultural family evening. World Ballet Tour’s November announcement highlights imagination, childhood and courage. Mary El’s December production is led by artistic director Konstantin Ivanov, a former Bolshoi soloist.
Choosing a performance
Three dates at Teatro de Cancún:
- 6 November 2026, 20:00 — World Ballet Tour;
- 7 November 2026, 19:00 — World Ballet Tour;
- 20 December 2026, 18:00 — Russian State Ballet Mary El.
Choose the specific company, date and time when buying. Both ticket listings say children aged three and over need a ticket. Check current rules and seats with TusBoletos. Your own travel dates and the start time can help you choose between November and December.
Travelling to the theatre
Give Hola Taxi Teatro de Cancún, your chosen date, hotel address and passenger numbers. For a family journey, describe the group. Discuss any return separately, taking into account whether you plan dinner after the ballet.
