The Nutcracker (U*)

Royal Ballet & Opera Live 24-25

A group of ballet dancers in traditional, fairy-like dress dance around a stage.

Julia Trevelyan Oman’s period designs bring festive charm to Peter Wright’s beloved Royal Ballet production, as fairy tale magic comes together with spectacular dancing in this classic ballet.

Join Clara at a delightful Christmas Eve party that becomes a magical adventure once everyone else is tucked up in bed. 

Marvel at the brilliance of Tchaikovsky’s score, as Clara and her enchanted Nutcracker fight the Mouse King and visit the Sugar Plum Fairy in the glittering Kingdom of Sweets. Peter Wright’s much-loved production for The Royal Ballet, with gorgeous period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman, keeps true to the spirit of this festive ballet classic, combining the thrill of the fairy tale with spectacular dancing.

Discover the enchantment of ballet with this sparkling festive treat for the whole family.
