Summary
The Royal Ballet and Opera performs Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House.
Why it's fantastic
Tchaikovsky’s twinkling score brings a sense of childhood wonder to this traditional production, featuring elegant period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman. It offers a gentle introduction to the art form, perfectly capturing the magic of a young girl’s journey through a dreamlike kingdom of sweets and snow.
