The magic of Christmas is set to return with Carlos Acosta’s Nutcracker in Havana, as Norwich Theatre and Valid Productions announce the full cast for the acclaimed production. Directed and choreographed by the legendary Carlos Acosta CBE, this vibrant Cuban reimagining of the festive classic is preparing to enchant audiences once again.
Featuring the world-class dancers of Acosta Danza, the cast includes Amisaday Naara, Daniela Urgelles, Adria Diaz, and many more celebrated Cuban performers. The production also welcomes a group of talented guest artists and junior dancers from the Acosta Dance Centre, ensuring a dazzling showcase of energy and artistry.
This Nutcracker takes audiences on a journey where ballet meets the rhythm of Havana, with a newly commissioned Cuban arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s iconic score by composer Pepe Gavilondo. With colourful visuals, Nina Dunn’s spectacular projection design, and Angelo Alberto’s vibrant costumes, it’s a feast for the senses and a true celebration of Cuban culture.
Carlos Acosta said:
“Watching my dancers blend classical ballet with Cuban folk and contemporary dance has been a dream come true. This show embodies the joy and warmth of Cuba at Christmas.”
Produced by Norwich Theatre and Valid Productions, Nutcracker in Havana is set to be one of the most exciting theatre events of the season. The ballet embarks on its second UK tour from Fri 31 Oct 2025 opening at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre for three performances.
