At a cosy Christmas party, young Clara meets the mysterious magician Drosselmeyer, who gives her a
nutcracker doll. 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.
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.
