A Lavish Ballet for the Festive Season, featuring a large Live Orchestra.

Following last year’s phenomenal success, Imperial Classical Ballet® is delighted to return to the UK with their breathtaking production of The Nutcracker.

Christmas simply wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the theatre to experience the magic of the world’s most beloved ballet – The Nutcracker. With snow flurries, sweets, princes, magic, and love, this enchanting production captures the essence of the holiday season.

Set to Tchaikovsky’s timeless score, including the iconic Waltz of the Flowers and the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, The Nutcracker continues to captivate audiences of all ages. It is the perfect introduction to the beauty of ballet while remaining a cherished classic for seasoned enthusiasts.
