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 this festive staple is the quickest way to feel the shift into midwinter, especially when hearing the celesta sparkle during the Sugar Plum Fairy’s dance. It offers a rare chance to hear a full orchestra bring Tchaikovsky’s most famous melodies to life alongside a huge cast of world-class dancers.
