Northern Ballet’s acclaimed version of The Nutcracker returns home to Leeds Grand Theatre this November after its hugely successful run last year.
It’s the classic tale of Clara and her wooden Nutcracker doll that is much more than it seems. As the clock strikes midnight Clara finds herself being whisked away on a magical adventure through a winter wonderland filled with dancing snowflakes and a whole host of colourful characters.
The Nutcracker is the perfect introduction to classical ballet that has something for everyone, from the iconic dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to an epic battle between the Nutcracker Prince and the villainous Mouse King.
The ballet is set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic music that is played live by the Northern Ballet Sinfonia.

The Nutcracker is at Leeds Grand Theatre from 29th November – 10th December 2023. To book 0113 243 0808 or www.leedshertitagetheatres.com
