The grand finale for 2025 is The Ryman Healthcare Season of The Nutcracker - everyone’s Christmas favourite.

This year, RNZB artistic director Ty King-Wall brings a distinctly New Zealand touch to this original toy story loved around the world. Celebrating being ‘home for Christmas’ and the nostalgia of childhood holidays, it will transport audiences from the beach in Act I to the iconic snowy Southern Alps in Act II.

Combined with the moving and magical music of Tchaikovsky, performed with live orchestras in Auckland, this is a ballet for all ages, a ballet that is truly spellbinding.

$2 per hour to a max of $12 on weekends and a $12 flat rate for weekday evenings at The Civic car park. Find out more
