Postponed due to the tragedy at the Prečko Elementary School before Christmas, the free screening of a live performance of The Nutcracker ballet will now be shown outside the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb at 7.30pm on Friday, January 3.

Performances of Tchaikovsky’s seasonal classic always sell out fast – for the current run of 19 shows, all online tickets were snapped up in two hours. To compensate, in the spirit of Christmas, the Croatian National Theatre and the Zagreb Tourist Board have collaborated to give disappointed families a special treat: a free showing of this year’s production, beamed out to spectators gathered in the open square outside the historic building.

The performance features choreography by world-renowned Ukrainian ballet dancer and director Vladimir Malakhov, whose storied career has seen him work in top-level companies across the world, from New York City to Berlin, where he served as the artistic director of the Staatsballett for ten years.

The show's running time is two hours.

Where: Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb, Trg Republike Hrvatske 15

When: Friday, January 3, 7.30pm

Admission: FREE
