Be enchanted by The Royal Ballet in this sparkling festive treat for the whole family. 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 (Anna Rose O’Sullivan) and The Prince (Marcelino Sambé) in the glittering Kingdom of Sweets. Peter Wright’s much-loved production, with gorgeous period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman, keeps true to the spirit of this ballet classic, combining the thrill of the fairy tale with spectacular dancing.
