ROH The Nutcracker
A young girl’s enchanted present leads her on a wonderful Christmas adventure in this beautiful 
classical ballet, danced to Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score.
The young Clara creeps downstairs on Christmas Eve to play with her favourite present – a Nutcracker doll.
But the mysterious magician Drosselmeyer is waiting to sweep her off on a magical adventure. After defeating the Mouse King, the Nutcracker and Clara travel through the Land of Snow to the Kingdom of Sweets, where the Sugar Plum Fairy treats them to a wonderful display of dances.
With its festive period setting, dancing snowflakes and enchanting stage magic, Lev Ivanov’s 1892 ballet has become the perfect Christmas entertainment, with Tchaikovsky’s sumptuous, sugar-spun music the most recognisable of all ballet scores.

Reviews
To so many people the Nutcracker means Christmas, the annual screening from the ROH is a lovely tradition here at the Arts Centre. The whole evening feels really Christmassy - come along for a sprinkle of festive magic.
