The Nutcracker:
Scottish Ballet

A revival of one of Scottish Ballet's most talked about productions, Artistic Director Ashley Page's fresh take on ETA Hoffmann's original story, Nutcracker And The King Of Mice. One snowy Christmas Eve, Marie hears the story of a brave young man who saves a princess from a horrible curse and, as she sleeps, she is transported into a surreal dream world where she must learn to fend for herself and discover the secret of true love... This adaptation of the classic tale is set in the Weimar Republic in Germany and delves deep into the darker reaches of the story.
