Nutcracker

A magical show from Northern Ballet

Christmas Eve in the twinkling drawing room of the Edwards’ family home. Amidst the commotion the fire crackles and the pile of presents grows ever taller. Uncle Drosselmeyer’s curious box of performing toys captivates the children and adults alike, but it is the wooden Nutcracker doll that enchants young Clara most. Share in Clara’s adventures as she is swept away by her Nutcracker prince into a magical winter wonderland of dancing snowflakes and the famous Sugar Plum Fairy.

A welcome return for Northern Ballet to the Theatre Royal, The Nutcracker brings to life everyone’s favourite Christmas story. Performed to Tchaikovsky’s enduring score, played live by the Northern Ballet Sinfonia, it will awaken childlike imagination in us all.

With everything you expect from this traditional favourite and Northern Ballet’s unique magic scattered throughout, book now for the only Nutcracker to see this Christmas.
