Screening of The Royal Ballet & Opera's festive family ballet The Nutcracker, choreographed by Peter Wright and designed by Julia Trevelyan Oman, in the RB&O Encore series.
MK Gallery is screening The Nutcracker on Sunday 13 December, as part of the RB&O Encore series. It's Peter Wright's production of the ballet, with Julia Trevelyan Oman's period designs, and it runs for 170 minutes.
If you're not familiar with the story, it starts at a cosy Christmas party where young Clara meets the mysterious magician Drosselmeyer and is whisked away into a world of enchantment in which toys come alive. From there, it's a festive family favourite that sparkles to the wondrous swell of Tchaikovsky's orchestral score, all wrapped in the glow and grandeur of Oman's period designs.
The screening is part of the RB&O Encore series at MK Gallery, the public art gallery in central Milton Keynes. The gallery opened in 1999 and reopened after a major expansion in 2019; it has no permanent collection and a top-floor cinema overlooking Campbell Park, which is where this will be shown.
