The magician Herr Drosselmeyer needs to save his nephew. Hands-Peter has
been transformed into a Nutcracker; the only way to save him is for the
Nutcracker to defeat the Mouse King and find a girl to love and care for him. A
flicker of hope comes in the form of the young Clara, whom Drosselmeyer meets
at a Christmas party. With some magic, a cosy Christmas gathering turns into a
marvellous adventure.
Peter Wright’s The Nutcracker
has enchanted audiences since its 1984 premiere by the Company. Featuring
Tchaikovsky’s most familiar melodies and brought to life by Julia Trevelyan
Oman’s exquisite designs, The Nutcracker is sure to be a festive firecracker
for all ages.
