Makati Shangri-La, Manila and Metrobank, in cooperation with the Philippine Ballet Theatre, presents The Nutcracker ballet show, a magical, quintessential Christmas classic that is sure to enchant all kids and kids-at-heart, at Lobby Lounge on Thursday, December 8, 2016.

The Nutcracker is a story written by E.T.A. Hoffman in 1816.  It shows how Clara’s favorite toy, a nutcracker, comes alive and, after defeating the evil mouse king in battle, whisks her away to a magical kingdom populated by dolls.

“As the year comes to a close, we remember with appreciation our guests and partners.  We decided to put together this event for our friends and customers because The Nutcracker offers a memorable experience during the holiday season,” said Alain Borgers, general manager of Makati Shangri-La, Manila.

For one night only, guests are given the chance to witness an excerpt of The Nutcracker, wherein the prince takes Clara to his kingdom, The Land of the Sweets.  Tickets are priced at Php 2,300++ per person and include a four-course menu with two beverages.

An exclusive ticket priced at Php 2,000++ per person is offered to all Metrobank Gold MasterCard, Peso Platinum MasterCard and World MasterCard credit cardholders for a minimum purchase of four tickets.   

“This very special Christmas show should not be missed.  Audiences of all ages will enjoy a carefully designed menu, the elegant ambiance of the Lobby Lounge and the Philippine Ballet Theatre’s mastery of their craft.  It will put everyone in a festive mood and add a dash of sparkle to their holidays,” said Mr. Borgers.
