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

Watching the toy soldiers come to life and the snowflakes dance feels like stepping into a classic storybook. You will instantly recognise the famous melodies in the score, from the delicate Sugar Plum Fairy to the grand waltzes, all played by a full orchestra to capture the true magic of the season.
