Synopsis:
The magician
Herr Drosselmeyer needs to save his nephew. Hans-Peter has been transformed
into a Nutcracker; the only way to save him is for the Nutcracker to defeat the
Mouse King and find a girl to love and care for him. A flicker of hope comes in
the form of the young Clara, whom Drosselmeyer meets at a Christmas party. With
some magic, a cosy Christmas gathering turns into a marvellous adventure.
Peter
Wright’s The Nutcracker has enchanted audiences since its 1984 premiere
by the Company. Featuring Tchaikovsky’s most familiar melodies and brought to
life by Julia Trevelyan Oman’s exquisite designs, The Nutcracker is sure
to be a festive firecracker for all ages.
