Northern Ballet’s Magical Festive Favourite Opens its Latest Tour in Woking this Winter
7th October 2022
Thursday 10th – Saturday 12th November
This winter Northern Ballet’s enchanting festive favourite The Nutcracker, returns to stages
across the UK, taking audiences on a sparkling adventure as one child’s Christmas dreams
come true.
Choreographed by David Nixon CBE, The Nutcracker will open at Woking New Victoria
Theatre on Thursday 10 November and tour to Nottingham Theatre Royal, Norwich Theatre
Royal, Hull New Theatre and Leeds Grand Theatre for a three-week run over the Christmas
period.
In the midst of a festive party, as the fire crackles and the pile of presents grows ever higher,
Clara is caught up in the warmth and excitement of Christmas and becomes enthralled by
her new Nutcracker doll. But, as the clock strikes midnight, her Nutcracker proves to be no
ordinary toy. After saving her Nutcracker from the wily Mouse King, Clara is whisked away
on the magical journey of a lifetime through a winter wonderland of dancing snowflakes and
the famous Sugar Plum Fairy.
Choreographed and directed by former Artistic Director David Nixon CBE, The Nutcracker is
set to the famous Tchaikovsky score played live by Northern Ballet Sinfonia. The production
features stunning Regency-style sets by Charles Cusick Smith with lighting by Mark
Jonathan.
Director, Choreographer and Costume Designer David Nixon CBE, said: “The Nutcracker is
not just a ballet, it is a tradition for many families and generations, a way of having shared
memories at a time of year when togetherness turns to the fore.
“I believe that The Nutcracker offers the perfect festive escapism for every generation, a
chance to revel in the child-like magic of Christmas.”
We are holding an audio-described performances and touch tour for visually-impaired
patrons at each venue. Please get in touch for more information
