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. </div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div>BalletPT2H20M2026-12-13The Royal Ballet: The Nutcracker 26/27"The Royal Ballet: The Nutcracker 26/27"Showtimes
