Once again the Royal Ballet celebrate Christmas by dusting off their impeccable, classic version of the family favourite. The Nutcracker, E.T.A Hoffmann's story set to the music of Tchaikovsky and choreographed by Lev Ivanov, is a piece of classical ballet that is synonymous with Christmas.
A trip to the Royal Opera House is something you'll never forget and while this classic version is pretty long and might be wasted on toddlers, for younger kids and teenagers, this is the definitive Nutcracker.
For a more light=hearted interpretation of the classic, see Matthew Bourne's The Nutcracker at The Churchill (5th-12th Novelber) or Sadler's Wells.
