CHRISTMAS TREAT
Snow is falling as Clara and her family prepare for their Christmas party… a sumptuous ball set in Jane Austen’s Regency England…
Her Uncle, Herr Drosselmeyer, arrives with tales of his exotic travels. Everyone is excited by his gifts but none is more loved than the strange wooden Nutcracker doll Clara holds fiercely in her arms. But her Nutcracker is much more than it seems. As the clock strikes midnight she finds herself in a dream land where she must fight a battle with the wicked Mouse King before being whisked away on an enchanting journey.
Enter the magical world of Northern Ballet Theatre’s utterly traditional production of The Nutcracker which charmed audiences and critics alike when it premiered in 2007. Colourful, sparkly and enchanting, with a blizzard of a snowstorm, spectacular costumes and Tchaikovsky’s famous score, this is a festive treat guaranteed to leave you and your family with a warm glow this Christmas.
