Celebrate the Magic of Christmas With Nutcracker Tickets

Some things are quintessentially Christmas - stockings, advent calendars and carols - but nothing sparks festive joy quite like a trip to see dazzling ballet The Nutcracker. In the grand surroundings of the Royal Albert Hall, this festive treat couldn’t be more magical! Birmingham Royal Ballet’s “outstanding presentation of a Christmas classic” (Londonist) is a perfect match for the capital’s most breathtaking performance venue, with gorgeous costumes and projections bringing new surprises to a story that has enchanted millions of families.

What is The Nutcracker about?

On a snowy Christmas Eve in London, young Clara unwraps a magical present. Beneath the paper lies a Nutcracker. But this isn’t a usual Nutcracker: it is enchanted, and springs to life! Beckoning Clara on an adventure, the Nutcracker takes her to a faraway land where handsome strangers, strange creatures and a terrifying confrontation with the Mouse King await.

As the pair drift through their new winter wonderland towards the kingdom of the Sugar Plum Fairy, audiences can marvel at spellbinding choreography and Tchaikovsky’s soaring music, including “Waltz of the Flowers” and “The Nutcracker Suite”.This world-famous ballet is a spectacle for all ages.
