Viewing The Nutcracker

Nothing says Christmas quite like The Nutcracker, and happily for us Peter Wright’s much-loved production returns to the Royal Opera House this December. With music by Tchaikovsky and sumptuous stage sets by Julia Trevelyan, The Royal Ballet’s festive favourite is sure to delight children and adults alike.

Set on Christmas Eve, The Nutcracker follows Clara and Hans-Peter on a journey through the Land of Snow and Kingdom of Sweets. During this sparkling two-hour performance, you’ll see a battle between mice and gingerbread soldiers as well as a series of enchanting waltzes performed by a rich assortment of sweets and flowers.

You’ll also enjoy sweeping snowscapes, dazzling scenery and a band of colourful characters, including the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Mouse King and Clara’s godfather Uncle Drosselmeyer. Tickets are selling like hotcakes, so snap them up while you still can.
