The English National Ballet Sets The Christmas Scene With The Nutcracker.

English National Ballet brings its acclaimed production of The Nutcracker to Liverpool in November and back to the London Coliseum for its annual Christmas season. The Liverpool performances will be between Wednesday 20th November and Saturday 23rd November at The Empire Theatre.

Journey back in time with the English National Ballet to a frost-covered, gas-lit London and join Clara, her nutcracker doll and the magician Drosselmeyer in this traditional, festive tale for all the family.

On an enchanted Christmas Eve, under the heavy boughs of the candlelit tree Clara battles with the Mouse King and falls in love with a handsome stranger. As the air grows colder and snowflakes begin to fall, Clara and her valiant Nutcracker take a hot balloon ride across the frost-dusted London skyline to the glistening Land of Snow where her adventure really begins.

In a world of Edwardian elegance, The Nutcracker brings to life the eternally popular Tchaikovsky score featuring the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Waltz of the Flowers. This classical production is a magical, memorable and unmissable Christmas treat.
