English National Ballet - Nutcracker
23rd - 26th November 2016
Over 100 dancers and musicians bring Nutcracker to life, with Tchaikovsky's glorious score played live.
This ballet is simply mesmerising from the start. It has sumptuous sets, dazzling costumes and magical storytelling.
On a sparkling Christmas Eve in a frost dusted Edwardian London, Clara and her enchanted Nutcracker doll discover a magical world, where she battles with the Mouse King and meets a handsome stranger...
The corps and orchestra were superb throughout, the dancers simply enchanting. Alina Cojocaru as Clara and James Forbat as her beloved Nutcracker dance so beautifully together - both confidently and with such delicacy.
The attention to detail is superb, the dance students of the Tring Park School for Performing Arts (Sophia Mucha as the young Clara and Euan Garret as the young Freddie) worked so impressively with the ENB dancers.
From the sound of the orchestra tuning up, to the final bows and rapturous applause - a trip to see the English National Ballet perform Nutcracker is an unforgettable Christmas treat!
An absolute timeless Christmas classic, a show for all ages to enjoy.
