Saint Petersburg Ballet's production of The Nutcracker

This delightfully festive tale tells the story of Clara’s magical adventure with her Nutcracker Prince as she gets whisked away on a journey which includes the delicious Land of Sweets and the delightful Sugar Plum Fairy.

The timeless classic boasts baroque designs and is set to Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s glorious score – a perfect treat for the whole family.

Under the expert direction of Marina Medvetskaya, St Petersburg Classic Ballet combines classical training and technique with the best-loved Russian ballets. The performers are complemented by a full orchestra.
