Summary
Rosanna Ely stars as Clara in Birmingham Royal Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker, accompanied by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia at the Birmingham Hippodrome.
Why it's fantastic
Tchaikovsky's score is a constant stream of recognisable melodies, from the delicate dance of the sugar plum fairy to the grand waltz of the flowers. Watching Clara's journey through a winter kingdom is the classic way to mark the season and a perfect entry point for ballet newcomers.
