Nothing says Christmas like THE NUTCRACKER and the Royal Ballet’s production this year has been hailed as “Spectacular Christmas magic” The perfect treat for ballet lovers of all ages.
Journey into a magical kingdom with this wonderful production that has been enchanting children and adults alike since it was created by Sir Peter Wright for The Royal Ballet just over 40 years ago in 1984. Julia Trevelyan Oman’s exquisite designs bring the story wonderfully to life, from the 19th century German home of the Stalbaums – which features a Christmas tree that transforms beyond one’s imagination – to the Kingdom of Sweets, where everything is sugar and sparkle.
With some of ballet’s most-loved and familiar melodies created by Tchaikovsky, this year’s The Nutcracker has been dazzling audiences already with its magic in terms of performance and production and is now sold out for the rest of its run at the Royal Ballet Covent Garden, until January. So catch this festive firecracker on the Drill Hall’s big screen with the best seat in the house!
