Ballet de Kiev, The Nutcracker, at Palacio Euskalduna, Bilbao

On Tuesday 8 December 2026 at 19:00 the Palacio Euskalduna in Bilbao presents the Ballet de Kiev in The Nutcracker, set to music by Piotr Tchaikovsky with choreography by Marius Petipa. The listing tells how the company was created in 2017 by Viktor Ishchuk, a soloist of the Kyiv Opera, to bring together leading artists from Ukraine. It says the troupe has given more than 700 performances and toured stages in Switzerland, Germany, France, Spain, Poland, Croatia, China and Mexico. Its stated aim is to preserve the essence of pure classical ballet, with sober choreography, virtuoso soloists and sets and costumes designed in Kyiv workshops. Tickets cost between 38 and 60 euros, and 1 euro from every ticket sold goes to UNICEF for its work in Ukraine. A big classical ballet is easy to enjoy alone, since the whole audience shares the same view of the dancing. «El Ballet de Kiev mantiene entre sus objetivos principales el cuidado de las tradiciones y esencia del ballet clásico más puro» Starts 19:00, ends about 21:00.
