Summary
The Royal Ballet and Opera performs Tchaikovsky’s festive classic at the Royal Opera House.
Why it's fantastic
Tchaikovsky’s sparkling score provides the heartbeat for this production, where period-perfect designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman bring a traditional Christmas Eve to life. It is the quintessential festive introduction to ballet, flowing from a family party into a dreamscape of dancing snowflakes and mechanical dolls.
