2016 | 119 minutes | Streaming | Join us for a virtual screening of the 2016 stage recording of The Nutcracker, danced by The Royal Ballet, with music played by Royal Opera House Orchestra.
The seasonal classic recounts the story of young Clara and her nutcracker who comes to life. The two are transported to a magical world by Drosselmeyer, a magician. Lauren Cuthbertson and Federico Bonelli dance the exquisite Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince; Francesca Hayward and Alexander Campbell take the roles of Clara and the Nutcracker; and Gary Avis is the mysterious, kindly Drosselmeyer. This performance celebrated Peter Wright’s 90th birthday and a production that has been in The Royal Ballet’s repertory for more than thirty years. With sumptuous period designs, spellbinding stage effects and of course Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, The Nutcracker continues to enchant audiences of all ages.
Screened via Youtube, registrants will receive an email the day of screening with a link and viewing instructions. The link will be available to screen from December 12, 9am to December 13, 11:45pm.
