The Nutcracker
Monday 1 February at 7.30pm
This most famous of fantasy ballets for all the family begins as night falls on Christmas Eve. As snowflakes fall outside, the warm glow of the open fire sends flickering shadows across the boughs of the Christmas tree and all the presents beneath. When midnight strikes we are swept away to a fairy-tale world where nothing is quite as it seems, toy dolls spring to life, the Mouse-king and his mouse-army battle with the Nutcracker Prince and we travel through the Land of Snow to an enchanted place where the magic really begins...
Swan Lake
Tuesday 2 and Wednesday 3 February at 7.30pm
The greatest romantic ballet of all time is brought to life by Tchaikovsky’s haunting and unforgettable score. From the impressive splendour of the Palace ballroom to the moon-lit lake where swans glide in perfect formation, this compelling tale of tragic romance has it all. From Odile, the temptress in black tutu as she seduces the Prince by spinning with captivating precision to the spellbound purity of the swan queen, Odette as she flutters with emotional intensity, the dual role of Odette/Odile is one of ballet’s most unmissable technical challenges.
Snow White
Wednesday 3 February at 2pm
Step into a spellbinding world of beauty, jealousy, and true love. When the vain Queen’s magic mirror names Snow White the fairest of all, envy turns deadly. Forced to flee, Snow White finds refuge with the lovable Seven Dwarfs and the creatures of an enchanted forest. But danger follows, and a poisoned apple casts her into a deep sleep. Only true love can break the spell. Filled with stunning choreography, vibrant characters, and the music of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Pugni and Grieg, Snow White is a dazzling ballet for all ages — a story of hope, courage, and happily ever after.
