Information

The Nutcracker has long been one of
the most delightful ways to discover the
enchantment of ballet – and makes for a
delicious seasonal treat for all the family.
Tchaikovsky’s much-loved music is matched
to a magical adventure on Christmas Eve for
Clara and her Nutcracker doll. Their journey
to the Land of Sweets brings with it some
of the most familiar of all ballet moments,
such as the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
and the Waltz of the Flowers. Peter Wright’s
production for The Royal Ballet keeps true
to the spirit of this Russian ballet classic,
with period details and dancing snowflakes.
The many solo roles and ensembles put the
world-class skills of the Company to the fore
in this Christmas classic.
