Two Nutcracker Productions Are Coming to Singapore: Which Dates to Book?
Singapore has two separate Nutcracker productions to choose from this festive season: State Ballet of Georgia in November and Singapore Ballet in December.
26–29 November: State Ballet of Georgia at Sands Theatre
The touring production runs Thursday and Friday at 7.30pm, Saturday at 2pm and 7.30pm, and Sunday at 1pm and 5.30pm. Its listed running time is about 115 minutes, including a 20-minute interval.
The current venue page lists tickets from S$48 before booking fees and states that dynamic pricing applies. Check your selected performance and sightline rather than treating the lowest category as guaranteed availability.
Children under three are not admitted; everyone needs a ticket, and under-12s need a parent or guardian. Wheelchair and companion seating enquiries go through the Sands box office.
9–13 December: Singapore Ballet at Esplanade Theatre
Singapore Ballet’s production is staged and choreographed by Janek Schergen, with live accompaniment from the Metropolitan Festival Orchestra.
Shows are at 8pm on 9–11 December; 2pm and 8pm on 12 December; and 1pm and 7pm on 13 December. Listed categories are S$55, S$75, S$95 and S$110, excluding the SISTIC fee.
Choose the company and venue before the seat
These are different productions, not two venues on the same ticket. The story follows Clara and her Nutcracker into a fantastical world of snow and sweets, but staging, schedules and admission conditions should be checked separately.
If a live orchestra is your deciding factor, Singapore Ballet explicitly confirms one. For a November outing, the Sands dates come first. Use the appropriate official booking link and check the exact matinee or evening time.
