  • A Christmas treat for the whole family and a classic with a special place in the hearts of ballet fans around the world. Principal of The Royal Ballet Vadim Muntagirov performs the Sugar Plum Prince Variation from the grand pas de deux in Act II of The Nutcracker. Find out more here www.roh.org.uk...
    Peter Wright's interpretation of The Nutcracker has been enchanting children and adults alike since its first performance by The Royal Ballet in 1984. Lev Ivanov's 1892 ballet combined with Tchaikovsky's sumptuous, iconic score are presented in a festive period setting with vivid designs to make this a charming and magical production. Loosely based on the story by E.T.A. Hoffmann, the ballet begins in the 19th-century German home of the Stahlbaums, where they are hosting a lively Christmas party. The period setting is captured in opulent detail by Julia Trevelyan Oman's designs, which include authentic Christmas tree decorations that are magically brought to life. Wright's choreography ingeniously incorporates surviving fragments of the ballet's original material, including the sublime pas de deux for the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince. But in emphasizing the relationship between Clara and the Nutcracker, the production also gains a touching subtext of first love.

      Yeah but I highly doubt that, as a ballet dancer I can tell you I only enjoyed like 30% if I’m preforming, others just go straight to MY FEET THAT HURTS SO MUCH and stress

      @@thisisjustaname5553I just performed waltz of the flowers last weekend, sure, my feet hurt, but it was so worth it! The joy and thrill you get on stage with an entire audience watching you while doing what you love is nerve-racking but it is totally worth it, unless you aren’t dedicated enough. I wish I was in the second cast so I could perform again this week.
