About

The classical Nutcracker ballet, set to Tchaikovsky's score, is back after last season's run. Clara gets a nutcracker as a Christmas Eve present, and during the night the toy comes to life and takes her into a world of fantasy characters. It suits kids who already like dance or music and can sit through a long show, plus any grown-up who loves classical ballet.
