THE NUTCRACKER GARY AVIS ∙ FRANCESCA HAYWARD ∙ ALEXANDER CAMPBELL LAUREN CUTHBERTSON ∙ FEDERICO BONELLI
ORCHESTRA OF THE ROYAL OPERA HOUSECONDUCTED BY BORIS GRUZIN
CHOREOGRAPHY BY PETER WRIGHT AFTER LEV IVANOV
This all-time ballet favourite, in which young girl Clara is taken on a fantasy adventure when one of her Christmas presents comes to life, is gloriously put on stage in Peter Wright’s production, with a choreography by Lev Ivanov.
Clara creeps downstairs on Christmas Eve to play with her favourite present – a nutcracker. But the mysterious magician Drosselmeyer is waiting to sweep her off on a magical adventure …
Tchaikovsky’s ravishing score, the period designs including an ingenious christmas tree and outstanding principals of the Royal Ballet make for a captivating performance.
Francesca Hayward, who “dances like a dream child as Clara” (The Stage), is superbly partnered by “Nutcracker” Alexander Campbell: “Their duet has a delightful sense of discovery” (The Independent). Gary Avis impresses as Mr Drosselmeyer: “This masterful dancer-actor lends pompous exactitude, wittily theatrical flamboyance and cast-iron authority to this vital part” (Daily Telegraph).
