The magician Mr Drosselmeyer must rescue his nephew Hans-Peter, who has been turned into a nutcracker. To have a chance of saving him, the Nutcracker must defeat the Mouse King and find a young girl who will love him. A glimmer of hope appears in the form of young Clara, whom Drosselmeyer meets on Christmas Eve. A touch of magic, and a pleasant Christmas Eve is transformed into a wonderful adventure.
Peter Wright’s Nutcracker has enchanted audiences since it was first performed by the company in 1984. Tchaikovsky’s best-known melodies combined with Julia Trevelyan Oman’s resplendent sets are sure to make The Nutcracker a sparkling, festive treat enjoyed by all the family.
