Experience the magic of live performance with The Royal New Zealand Ballet's matinees for schools!

The 2025 production of The Nutcracker is an exciting show for younger audiences, celebrating the magic of Christmas with the backdrop of Aotearoa.

The RNZB provides discounted tickets for school groups on a limited basis for each of their productions to encourage schools to experience the thrill of live dance. These performances include an abridged version of the story, shortened to be the perfect length for introducing school aged students to dance and live performance.

$2.50 per hour to a max of $12.50 on weekends and a $12 flat rate for weekday evenings at The Civic car park. Find out more
