THE NUTCRACKER BALLET has
all
the
excitement of a grand Christmas Eve party of the past, with beautifully dressed guests arriving in the snow, dancing in a decorated hall, a magician to entertain and give children presents, including a very special doll – The Nutcracker soldier. Is it magic, or is it in a dream that as the clock strikes midnight, the toys come to life, tin soldiers fi ght mice, and the Nutcracker becomes a prince who takes young Clara to fairyland on an unforgettable adventure, on the night before Christmas… Christmas would not be complete without the enchanting fairytale of The Nutcracker and the Bolshoi Ballet’s glittering production will whisk away children and adults alike to a world of magic and wonder. There is no more magical music in ballet than the much loved score Tchaikovsky
Give a piece of Wales this
Christmas...guaranteed for life
composed for The Nutcracker, a story taken from a spooky tale by ETA Hoffmann. But though the music is the same for every production across the world, the telling of the story as well as the staging have been continuously re-invented. This timeless Christmas classic is performed by the Bolshoi’s greatest dancers and with visually inventive stage wizardry they will spirit the audience away for a few hours to a fantasy land and feast of fantastic ballet. Screening at 3pm on Sunday 17 December, this is a brilliant opportunity to introduce young people to the enchantment of the ballet from one of the best companies in the world. Tickets £12 adult, £10 concessions available in advance from Chepstow Museum call 01291 625981 and the Bolshoi Ballet season screenings are fundraising events in support of the Museum.
