Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Nutcracker, Royal Ballet broadcast screening
It's the fabulous festive family favourite full of sparkle, snow, sweets and seasonal Christmas magic. This glorious production with its spectacular sets, costumes, brilliant ballet and the marvellous music of Tchaikovsky full of familiar melodies is enchanting for children and adults alike. A great introduction to ballet at a perfect time - on a Sunday afternoon – and not long before Christmas.
The story in a nutshell - The mysterious magician Drosselmeyer is invited to entertain at young Clara's family Christmas party, and brings her a gift of the Nutcracker Doll. Later that night when the house is asleep she creeps down to find the doll but is drawn into a fantastic world – where the living room becomes a battlefield and the Nutcracker leads toy soldiers against an army of mice led by the Mouse King, whom Clara helps to kill to save the Nutcracker. Her tender compassion releases a young man trapped inside the doll, and Drosselmeyer transports them both on a magic journey through the Land of Snow to the glittering Kingdom of Sweets ruled by the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince where toys and sweets come alive....
Make it a Christmas treat, delight ballet fans of all ages and introduce new ones with THE NUTCRACKER broadcast screening
