Christmas magic for young and old
The musical Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella brings the eponymous film, considered by many fans to be the most beautiful Christmas film of all time, to life on our stage for the first time. Featuring the famous original melody, lots of new music, enchanting costumes and fairytale stage design. An unforgettable experience for young and old alike.
Munich premiere for Cinderella
For over 50 years, this film has been capturing the hearts of millions of viewers year after year. For many, Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella is a cult classic and an integral part of the Christmas season. A must for all fans in 2026 is a visit to the musical of the same name, which will celebrate its Munich premiere with us in December.
The audience accompanies Cinderella live on a journey through sparkling snowy landscapes to the magnificent castle and the glittering ball. The iconic theme tune by Karel Svoboda is of course a must. With many songs composed especially for the musical, it combines to create an enchanting experience full of nostalgia and emotion. Thomas Zaufke, who has already been honored with the German Musical Theater Award, is responsible for this.
Enchanting fairy tale
After the death of her father, Cinderella lives with her strict stepmother, who, unlike her sister Dora, makes her work as a maid. Nevertheless, she dreams of freedom and adventure. One day, when she finds herself in the snowy forest, she meets the prince – a snowball, a laugh, a glance…
When the prince invites her to the ball, her stepmother refuses to let her go. But with the help of three magical hazelnuts that grant wishes, she manages to sneak in. At the dance, the prince only has eyes for her, but when the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella loses a shoe on the stairs. A moment that will change her fate forever.
