The Nutcracker

From Mon 18 Nov View Venues, Dates & Times

Sir Peter Wright's festive classic returns.

Sir Peter Wright’s version of this firm festive family favourite returns to the Hippodrome courtesy (of course) of Birmingham Royal Ballet. 
Created in 1990 as a thank-you to the city for its support of the company following its move to the Midlands from London’s Sadler Wells, Sir Peter’s production is seen by many as the finest interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s magnificent and mesmerising score.
In true Christmas spirit, the story follows the young Clara as she’s swept up in a fantasy of soldiers, giant rats, snow fairies, magic and mystery, before finally being transformed into a beautiful ballerina.
A magical, must-see show for theatre-going dance lovers everywhere, the production was two years ago enhanced by a £1million makeover.
BRB’s first-ever ‘relaxed performance’ of The Nutcracker will take place on the 3rd of December at 12.45pm.
