The Nutcracker with the Royal Swedish Ballet

One of the greatest ballet successes at the Royal Opera is The Nutcracker in Pär Isberg's choreography. With the story updated to feature characters from Elsa Beskow's fairy tales, Tchaikovsky's dance dream has become a Christmas tradition for audiences of all ages. This year the performance takes place at Cirkus with the Royal Swedish Ballet and recorded music by the Royal Court Orchestra.
