Official Event Listing

Ballet in two acts (1892)

Encore screenings! Join Clara (Sophie Allnat) 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 she and her enchanted Nutcracker fight the Mouse King and visit the Sugar Plum Fairy (Anna Rose-O’Sullivan) and her Prince (Marcelino Sambé) in the glittering Kingdom of Sweets. 

Peter Wright’s much-loved production for The Royal Ballet, with gorgeous period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman combining the thrill of the fairy tale with spectacular dancing. A festive classic to return to again and again - it wouldn't be Christmas without it.
