This festive season, NEBT reimagines Nutcracker with magic, storytelling, stunning ballet and timeless music.
This holiday season, New English Ballet Theatre (NEBT) presents a bold reimagining of The Nutcracker, performed live on stage to Tchaikovsky’s original, much-loved score. Blending classical tradition with imaginative storytelling, this festive production offers an enchanting experience for audiences of all ages.
At a glittering modern-day Christmas party, Clara is gifted a Nutcracker by an eccentric entertainer, unaware that it will lead her into a dreamlike world of snowy landscapes, mystery and magic.
This fresh interpretation of the timeless ballet is created by Valentino Zucchetti, one of NEBT’s Associate Choreographers and a First Soloist of The Royal Ballet. The production features elegant, expressive movement and breathtaking performances by inspiring guest artists.
Perfect for families and first-time ballet-goers alike, The Nutcracker is reimagined with sparkle, heart, and joyful creativity. A magical celebration of the festive season.
