English National Ballet’s Artistic Director, Aaron S. Watkin, and Olivier Award-winner Arielle Smith, bring back this Christmas classic in a “vibrant“ (Financial Times) and “astoundingly pretty“ (The London Standard) production. Set in Edwardian London, this traditional yet fresh interpretation of the classic ballet combines exquisite dancing with spectacular sets and costumes designed by Dick Bird. English National Ballet Philharmonic perform Tchaikovsky’s iconic score live. “A feast for the eyes… it all feels like a real Christmas gift“ (The Stage).
