The Nutcracker on Ice in Kazan, 11 December 2026

When: 11 December 2026

Where: Tatneft Arena, 42 Chistopolskaya Street, Kazan

This Nutcracker brings together figure skating, ballet and Tchaikovsky’s music performed by a live symphony orchestra. The familiar New Year story moves into a different space: dance takes to the ice, while the orchestra remains part of the action. The show may interest families, skating fans and visitors looking for a festive musical evening.

What distinguishes the format?

The organiser, Ice Seasons, builds the production around several performing arts. Follow the skaters’ movements while hearing the ballet’s music in its orchestral form. It offers a different perspective on a work often associated with December plans.
