Crown Ballet - The Nutcracker

A wonderful treat full of glitter for the whole family, and an ideal introduction to audiences of any age to the magic that is classical ballet, Moldova's Crown Ballet returns to the UK to enchant you with their delightful production of an eternal seasonal favourite, The Nutcracker - a charming and kindly fairy tale is one of the jewels of Tchaikovsky's repertoire.

 

Prepare to enter a magical new world – the nutcracker in this ballet may be a handsome prince in disguise.

 

The ballet is the ultimate fairy-tale where goodness and beauty triumph, with the original Christmas story based on The Nutcracker and the Mouse King written by E.T.A. Hoffmann, which tells the story of Marie, a sad little girl, whose godfather, Drosselmeier, gives her a Nutcracker doll as a present on Christmas Eve. In her lively imagination it turns into a prince and the magic starts.
