A New Era of Ballet Experience is Here
"The Nutcracker: The Ballet Show" starring Yamakai
"The Nutcracker: The Ballet Show," the latest work starring Yamakai, a professional ballet dancer and YouTuber, will be performed in February 2026.
This performance will be held exclusively in two cities, Osaka and Tokyo.
Each venue will host a special performance for just two days.
Performance Venues (Osaka/Tokyo)
The Osaka performance will be held at
Osakasayama City Cultural Hall (SAYAKA Hall)
The Tokyo performance will be held at
Tokyo Katsushika Symphony Hills Mozart Hall
Both are venues with excellent acoustics and stage facilities, allowing you to enjoy an immersive ballet experience.
Highlight ① | A New Sensory Ballet Fusing Music, Visuals, and Stage
The biggest feature of "The Ballet Show" is its direction, which goes beyond the framework of traditional classical ballet.
・Music
・Stage art
・Lighting
・Visual direction
All of these elements merge, evolving ballet from something to "watch" into something to "experience."
The main appeal is that you can enjoy the classic "Nutcracker Ballet" in a completely new way.
Highlight ② | Star-studded Cast and New Challenges
The lead role is played by Yamakai, who is also the artistic director.
In addition, Reimi Nakano, who played Belle in the previous work "Beauty and the Beast: The Ballet Show," will co-star.
Furthermore, Nerea will step down from the lead role and support the entire production as artistic director.
This stage challenges new expressions with a new cast.
Highlight ③ | Already Trending Ticket Sales
Advance sales for the 2026 performance recorded a huge response immediately after they began.
In particular, the SSS seats for the Tokyo performance sold out in just 30 minutes after sales began, indicating the high level of attention.
Other seat types are still on sale, but early sell-outs are expected, so we recommend checking them out early.
