The Nutcracker at Wyvern Theatre

 

Wyvern Theatre, Swindon

Sunday 25 October 2015, 7.30pm

  
There is no score more successful in supporting the full range of ballet than those by Tchaikovsky. The romance and verve with which he infused classical dancing makes his scores unsurpassed to this day: in terms not only of music but also of theatre, they are masterpieces.

  
The Christmas story is based on The Nutcracker and the Mouse King written by E.T.A. Hoffmann. It tells the story of Marie, a rather sad little girl, whose godfather Drosselmeyer gives her a nutcracker doll as a present on Christmas Eve which turns into a prince and the magic begins...

 

Featuring an impressive cast and accompanied by a live orchestra with over 30 musicians, The Russian State Ballet and Opera House has ensured that this classical ballet remains just as spell-binding today as it was when it was performed 120 years ago.

 

Tickets: £30.00-£33.00
