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.
