A timeless fairy tale to travel into the realm of fantasy and celebrate the arrival of the Christmas holidays with the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai. It is The Nutcracker, inspired by a story by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann and transformed by the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky into one of the worlds most famous ballets. A selection of his best-known pieces is on the programme in the traditional Christmas Concert, a one-off evening outside the subscription. On the podium is Andrés Orozco-Estrada, with the participation of Mario Acampa (speaker).
