The Nutcracker from the Royal Ballet
Christmas comes to life in this enchanting production from ballet legend Sir Peter Wright, delighting a packed audience at Covent Garden’s Royal Opera House.
This seasonal classic is a dazzling showcase, following magician Herr Drosselmeyer’s quest to save his nephew, Hans-Peter, who has been transformed into a nutcracker doll by the wicked Queen of the Mice. The only way to break the spell is for the Nutcracker to defeat the Mouse King and find a girl to love and care for him. A flicker of hope comes to Drosselmeyer at the Stahlbaum’s Christmas party in the form of his goddaughter, Clara. With a swish of Drosselmeyer’s cape and a little bit of magic, a cosy festive gathering turns into a marvellous adventure.
