Nutcracker is a festive family favourite that follows young Clara from a Christmas party into a magical world. After the guests have gone home, she sneaks downstairs to look for her nutcracker doll and is swept away by the mysterious conjuror Drosselmeyer into a realm of snowy landscapes and glittering sweets, where toys come to life.
Peter Wright's production is set to Tchaikovsky's sparkling orchestral score, with period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman adding to the warmth and grandeur of the staging.
