The loveliest and most uplifting tradition undertaken by the Opera's artists is the special charity performance that takes place in the Christmas salon of the The Nutcracker, conjuring up a holiday mood with games, musical interludes and opera excerpts. Starting in 2016, the Little Christmas programme has been updated based on the designs of our director András Aczél, and now unfolds in a different magical winter setting: the garret from the legendary 1937 production of La bohème.
The event will be attended by physically disabled and socially disadvantaged otherwise unlikely to ever see an opera production on their own. Each year, our artists waive their fees to perform at these Little Christmas shows.
