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. From the sound of the orchestra tuning up, to the final bows and cheers, a trip to English National Ballet’s Nutcracker in the splendour of the London Coliseum is an unforgettable Christmas treat. #EnglishNationalBallet #ENBNutcracker #Nutcracker _________________________ 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗗 Sign up to our monthly newsletter ⟶ http://www.ballet.org.uk/sign-up Subscribe on YouTube ⟶    / @englishnationalballet   ENB on Facebook ⟶   / englishnationalballet   ENB on Twitter ⟶   / enballet   ENB on Instagram ⟶   / englishnationalballet   ENB on Spotify ⟶ https://open.spotify.com/artist/4F32M... _________________________ 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗛 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗧 Founded in 1950 as London Festival Ballet by the great English dancers Alicia Markova and Anton Dolin, English National Ballet has been at the forefront of ballet’s growth and evolution ever since.
