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
The Sugar Plum Fairy’s melody is a universal sound of the season, but hearing Tchaikovsky’s full score played live by a large orchestra transforms the experience. This production offers a traditional way to embrace the winter spirit through two hours of storytelling that remains the quintessential entry point for ballet.
