After last year’s successful premier, Crown Ballet returns this year to the UK to enchant you with the delightful production of The Nutcracker, the ultimate fairy-tale ballet where goodness and beauty triumph.
One of the jewels of Tchaikovsky’s repertoire, this eternal seasonal favourite will be an unforgettable journey in the run-up to Christmas, and an ideal introduction to audiences of any age to the magic that is classical ballet.
The original Christmas story is based on The Nutcracker and the Mouse King written by E.T.A. Hoffmann. It tells the story of Marie, a sad little girl, whose godfather, Drosselmeier, gives her a Nutcracker doll as a present on Christmas Eve. In her lively imagination it turns into a prince and the magic starts. So prepare to enter a magical new world – the nutcracker in this ballet may be a handsome prince in disguise.
The Nutcracker is a wonderful treat full of glitter for the whole family!
