Royal Opera House Live: Discover the enchantment of this ballet as The Nutcracker is screened at Macrobert Arts Centre in December.

About Royal Opera House Live: The Nutcracker

RECORDED LIVE AT THE ROYAL OPERA HOUSE Thursday 8 December 2016.

The Royal Ballet's glorious production of The Nutcracker, created by Peter Wright in 1984, is the production par excellence of an all-time ballet favourite. It is Christmas Eve and Herr Drosselmeyer the magician sweeps young Clara away on a fantasy adventure in which time is suspended, the family living-room becomes a great battlefield, and a magical journey takes them through the Land of Snow to the Kingdom of Sweets. Tchaikovsky's glittering score, the gorgeous festive stage designs, and The Royal Ballet's captivating dancing including an exquisite pas de deux between the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince, make this Nutcracker the quintessential Christmas experience.

While we take every opportunity to ensure the details for Royal Opera House Live: The Nutcracker are accurate, we always advise that you contact the event organiser before setting out for the event to avoid disapointment.
