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 English National Ballet has a long and distinguished history.
