Nutcracker: Sugar Plum Fairy (extract) | English National Ballet

Rina Kanehara as the Sugar Plum Fairy in Nutcracker.

The magical Christmas tradition for all the family.

Over 100 dancers and musicians bring Nutcracker to life with exquisite dancing, beautiful sets and Tchaikovsky’s popular score played live.

On a sparkling Christmas Eve in a frost-dusted Edwardian London, Clara receives an enchanted Nutcracker as a present. Together, they discover a magical world where she battles with the Mouse King and meets a handsome stranger. As the air grows colder, Clara and her valiant Nutcracker take a hot air balloon ride across London to the glistening Land of Snow where a puppet theatre comes to life with dancers from around the world.

Delicate and assured. Perfect combination of soft, expressive arms with strong, precise footwork.
