Screening of The Royal Ballet's festive production of The Nutcracker, with Peter Wright's choreography and Tchaikovsky's score, at The Dome Cinema.
The Royal Ballet bring The Nutcracker to The Dome Cinema on Tuesday 1 December, as part of the Royal Ballet & Opera's 2026-27 cinema season. It's a screening of the company's main stage production, so you get the full Royal Opera House performance on the big screen right here in Worthing rather than having to make the trip into London.
The story is a Christmas party classic: young Clara meets the mysterious magician Drosselmeyer and is whisked away to a world of enchantment where toys come alive, all carried by Tchaikovsky's orchestral score. This particular production is by Peter Wright, with period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman, and it runs for 140 minutes.
It's not the only thing the season brings to the cinema. The Royal Ballet & Opera are screening several of the company's main stage productions throughout the year, with The Nutcracker sitting alongside other Royal Ballet works like Swan Lake and Romeo & Juliet, as well as titles from the Royal Opera. If you're into ballet, it's a good way to catch a few of their big productions in one season without leaving town.
