The Nutcracker and I

Tchaikovsky’s glittering ballet is given new life in an ingenious intimate staging for musician, dancer, and digital animation telling the story of a little girl and the gifts and toys that spring to life from under the tree on Christmas Eve.

In this one hour production for families, exquisite hand drawn animations interact with the live performers. Underpinned by pianist Alexandra Dariescu’s virtuosic performance of some of Tchaikovsky’s memorable melodies, this is a delightful re-imagining of an evergreen festive favourite that envelops us in its timeless charm.
