Milan has 5 ballet productions on this month, from the grand to the intimate. Chief among them is The Nutcracker - UNDER30 Preview at Teatro alla Scala, one of the city's major stages — Tchaikovsky's work needs no introduction.

And for a change of pace, there's The Nutcracker at Teatro alla Scala. No composer gets more stage time this month than Tchaikovsky, with 3 separate productions on across the city.

Rounding out the month: The last Christmas carol, Lo schiaccianoci and Cenerentola On Ice. That's 5 productions in total — full dates, and tickets where available, are linked below.
