The Nutcracker

This is a picture of The Nutcracker, showing at Buxton Opera House

08 November 7:30 PM

All is quiet in the great house… Clara creeps downstairs… the christmas tree stands alone… In the darkness, through the curtains, the moonlight beams onto the colourful presents offered there. It’s midnight, the clock strikes heralding in the spirit of Christmas… Yet something stirs in the darkness beyond and thus unfolds this magical festive tale of The Nutcracker.
Regarded as one of the jewels of classical ballet, The Nutcracker, originally choreographed by Marius Petipa & Lev Ivanov, and set to music by Tchaikovsky, represents one of the true timeless tales of childhood dreams where toys come to life, mice are the villains, and all things are possible in a magical kingdom beyond imagination.
A hugely enjoyable dance-spectacular, perfect for ballet lovers of all ages. Read more about this event … or
