Screening of Royal Ballet & Opera's production of The Nutcracker, staged by Peter Wright, to Tchaikovsky's score.
The Royal Ballet & Opera bring The Nutcracker to the Stephen Joseph Theatre on Tuesday 1 December, part of the venue's 25/26 season. It's a screening of the production, so rather than a live company on stage, you'll be watching the performance on the big screen. If that date doesn't work, there's a second showing on 3 December.
The production is Peter Wright's staging of the ballet, set to Tchaikovsky's score. It's the one most of us know by heart—the Christmas Eve party, the battle with the Mouse King, and the journey through the Land of Sweets—and Wright's version is described as an enchanting take on it, set in a magical kingdom. It's a family favourite, so it's as much for the kids as for anyone who just wants a bit of festive ballet without having to travel to London.
Because it's a screening, you get the full production as it was performed, with the music and dancing taking centre stage. It's a good way to see a Royal Ballet & Opera production right here in Scarborough, and since it's part of the theatre's wider season, it fits in with the other things they've got running across the year.

The screening starts at 7:15pm on Tuesday 1 December at the Stephen Joseph Theatre on Westborough, YO11 1JW, with tickets from ÂŁ18. There's that second date on 3 December if Tuesday is a no-go, so you've got a couple of chances to catch it.
