Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker

“When it comes to ‘The Nutcracker’, this one is simply unbeatable,” The Times said of this Royal Ballet production of the classic, based on Marius Petipa’s original choreography. It is the first ballet production to bring together all the Royal Ballet’s current stars on stage, including Marianela Nuñes as the Sugar Plum Fairy and Vadim Muntagirov as the Prince. Once again, London’s pre-eminent ballet expert Barry Wordsworth is at the podium conducting the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.
