Escape the Christmas madness, sit back and enjoy a live, big screen showing of Tchaikovsky’s classic ballet The Nutcracker performed by the Royal Ballet. Join Clara at a delightful Christmas Eve party that becomes a magical adventure once everyone else is tucked up in bed. Tchaikovsky’s score is sublime throughout, 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.
