The Nutcracker in Kraków: Additional Performance Announced for 4 December 2026

Following an exceptional response from audiences and numerous requests for an additional performance, UCB is delighted to announce a second performance of The Nutcracker in Kraków on 4 December 2026 at 16:00.

The additional afternoon performance will take place at the magnificent ICE Kraków Congress Centre — one of the city’s most prestigious cultural venues and an iconic destination at the heart of Kraków’s artistic life.

The extraordinary interest surrounding our evening performance has shown just how strongly Kraków audiences have embraced this production. With demand continuing to grow months ahead of the performance, we wanted to create another opportunity for families, ballet lovers and everyone wishing to celebrate the beginning of the festive season with us.

On 4 December, the stage of ICE Kraków will be transformed into the enchanting world of  The Nutcracker.

A Christmas tree comes to life. Snow begins to fall. Clara’s dream unfolds into an extraordinary journey through a world of magic, wonder and imagination — from the dramatic battle with the Mouse King to the shimmering Kingdom of Sweets.

At the heart of UCB’s production remains the beauty and tradition of classical ballet, brought to life through refined choreography, distinctive costumes and scenography, spectacular stage effects and original lighting design. Together, these elements create a rich and immersive theatrical world while preserving the elegance and timeless character that have made The Nutcracker one of the most beloved ballets in the world.

Presenting the production at ICE Kraków Congress Centre makes this occasion particularly special. The scale, architecture and atmosphere of this prestigious venue provide an exceptional setting for one of the great traditions of the Christmas season.

For one day, Kraków will now have two opportunities to enter the world of The Nutcracker:

4 December 2026 — 16:00 — Additional Performance
4 December 2026 — 19:30 — Evening Performance

We are truly grateful for the remarkable enthusiasm and trust of our Kraków audience. Your response is the reason we are able to add another performance — and share even more Christmas magic this December.

Tickets for the additional 16:00 performance are now on sale.

We look forward to welcoming you to ICE Kraków and sharing an unforgettable Christmas evening — or afternoon — together.
