ROYAL BALLET: THE NUTCRACKER

DECEMBER 2 - 6

Holidays At The JPT

The Royal Ballet:
THE NUTCRACKER

Nothing says Christmas quite like The Nutcracker! The Royal Ballet celebrates the festive season with Peter Wright’s beloved ballet. Set to Tchaikovsky’s stunning score and with Julia Trevelyan Oman’s sumptuous designs, this festive classic is a treat for the whole family.

*Filmed live December 10, 2025*

At a cosy Christmas party, young Clara meets the mysterious magician Drosselmeyer, who gives her a nutcracker doll. When the guests have departed and the house is asleep, Clara sneaks downstairs in search of the doll. Instead, she finds Drosselmeyer, who whisks her away on a journey into a whole world of enchantment: fantastical landscapes of flurried snow and glittering confection where toys come alive and the magic never stops.

Peter Wright’s production of this festive family favourite sparkles to the wondrous swell of Tchaikovsky’s orchestral score, alongside the glow and grandeur of Julia Trevelyan Oman’s period designs.

This program includes an intermission.
