Birmingham Royal Ballet returns home this Christmas with Sir Peter Wright’s legendary show, The Nutcracker.

Coming to Birmingham Hippodrome from Mon 18 Nov – Sun 15 Dec, Tchaikovsky’s glorious score will be performed live by the 60-strong Royal Ballet Sinfonia, providing a captivating soundtrack to this festive classic.

At her parents’ lavish Christmas party, Clara is given a mysterious Nutcracker Doll. Once all the guests have left, she sneaks downstairs to find her present and comes face-to-face with the fearsome King Rat, ready to do battle with the Nutcracker and his band of toy soldiers.

As soon as King Rat is vanquished, Clara is whisked away on a magical adventure with the Nutcracker, travelling through swirling snowflakes to an enchanting kingdom where she is transformed into the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Boasting daring swordfights, falling snow, magic, and a 30-foot Christmas tree, the festive classic is the perfect pre-Christmas night out.
