Overview
English National Ballet brings Tchaikovsky's beloved holiday favorite to life in a new production featuring over 100 dancers and musicians. Set in Edwardian-era London, the 1892 classic ballet's young heroine Clara sets off on a fantastical Christmas adventure with her enchanted nutcracker doll to a magical realm where anything is possible. The production is choreographed by ENB Artistic Director, Aaron S. Watkin, and Olivier Award winner Arielle Smith.
