My Little Concert is a series of educational concerts narrated in French, allowing children to immerse themselves in a musical story, based on well-known works from the repertoire or on specific themes. The My Little Concert orchestra is made up of professional musicians from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. With a variable geometry, the orchestra tackles all repertoires in the form of themed concerts. Accomplished musicians as well as teachers, the members of the orchestra are keen to pass on their passion.

For this Little Concert, we present a musical version of The Nutcracker.

The Nutcracker tells the story of Clara, a young girl who receives a nutcracker shaped like a soldier for Christmas. As night falls, the toy comes to life, battles the Mouse King, and takes Clara on a magical journey to the Land of Sweets.

Beyond its enchantment, the tale explores the transition from childhood to adolescence, where imagination becomes a space for transformation. The Nutcracker symbolizes protective strength and the awakening of inner courage, while Clara embodies curiosity and the discovery of emerging desire. Their adventure celebrates the power of dreams, capable of bridging childhood and the adult world.
