We’re sprinkling a little sugar-plum magic into your holiday season as we bring a screening of a filmed performance of Tchaikovsky’s beloved The Nutcracker by the Royal Ballet to Chester Playhouse!
Synopsis:
At a cosy Christmas party, young Clara meets the mysterious magician Drosselmeyer, who gives her a nutcracker doll. When the guests have departed and the house is asleep, Clara sneaks downstairs in search of the doll. Instead, she finds Drosselmeyer, who whisks her away on a journey into a whole world of enchantment: fantastical landscapes of flurried snow and glittering confection where toys come alive and the magic never stops.
Peter Wright’s production of this festive family favourite sparkles to the wondrous swell of Tchaikovsky’s orchestral score, alongside the glow and grandeur of Julia Trevelyan Oman’s period designs.
Join us for this beloved holiday tradition.
** Please note that this is not a live ballet performance – this is a screening of a performance that was filmed.
