Summary

Aaron S. Watkin and Arielle Smith choreograph a new production of Tchaikovsky’s ballet for English National Ballet, featuring the company's philharmonic orchestra at the London Coliseum.

Why it's fantastic

Hear the familiar melodies that soundtrack every festive season, from the crystalline dance of the sugar plum fairy to the swirling flower waltz. It is a quintessential winter ritual, offering a lavish two-hour escape into a world of clockwork dolls, mouse kings, and some of the most famous tunes ever written.
