Unrated. Running time 1hr 37mins

On Christmas Eve, a young girl has a dream… Emotional awakening, physical transformation, childhood that slowly merges into adulthood… behind what seems to be a tale for children slowly emerges a danced initiatory journey.

And while children revel in Drosselmeyer’s magic tricks and enjoy a good scare with the apparition of the Mouse King, the adults notice all the finesse that pervades this narrative and admire the virtuosity of the choreography.

A first class company, the Ballet Company of the National Opera of Ukraine has toured all around the world: from the United States to Europe and Asia.

Thanks to its rich classical heritage, the Company has managed to win the hearts of its audience thanks to its amazing technique and artistic maestria, and as in every good dance company, the whole is equal to the sum of its parts.

Advance Tickets: £7.50. On the door on the night, tickets will cost: £8.50

Regular attendees of our events will be aware that we have a limited number of wheelchair/accessible seats and therefore in an effort to make it fair for all concerned we are asking friends and family to book a seat in Row A behind. Thank you for your understanding and co operation.
