In this beloved holiday story, young Clara creeps downstairs on Christmas Eve to retrieve her favourite present. But a mysterious magician, Drosselmeyer, is waiting to sweep her off on a magical adventure. The stage  sparkles with theatrical magic in Peter Wright’s classic production – a Christmas tree grows before our eyes,  toy soldiers come  to life to fight the villainous Mouse King and Clara is whisked to the land of sweets on a golden sleigh. Tchaicovsky’s score  contains some  of the best-known melodies in ballet, from the flurrying sounds of the Waltz of the Snowflakes to the dream-like Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the vigorous Russian Dance.  Julia Trevelyan Oman’s design’s draw upon 19th-century images of Christmas, making this a dazzling spectacle for the festive season.

The Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden  is home to The Royal Ballet, Britain’s largest ballet company. Led by Director Kevin O’Hare, the Company  has a wide-ranging repertory showcasing the greatest classical ballets, heritage works from Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton and Principal Choreographer Kenneth MacMillan, as well as new works from the foremost choreographers of today. Access  is a key issue for the Company  and cinematic performances such as this limited engagement screening are a way to share  its work with the world.
