A TIMELESS festive classic filled with wonder, music and magic will delight audiences of all ages at the Torch Theatre this December, as The Royal Ballet’s spectacular production of The Nutcracker graces the big screen.

Join Clara on Christmas Eve as a cosy family gathering transforms into a dazzling adventure. Based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s much-loved story, this 19th-century tale unfolds in the home of the Stahlbaums, where Clara receives an enchanted Nutcracker doll. As the clock strikes midnight, she discovers a world of sparkling snowflakes, dancing sweets, and a heroic Nutcracker brought to life.

Peter Wright’s 1984 production for The Royal Ballet has captivated audiences for decades, featuring Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score and Julia Trevelyan Oman’s lavish designs — a combination that captures the very essence of Christmas magic.

The Royal Ballet: The Nutcracker will be screened at the Torch Theatre on Sunday, December 14, at 2:30pm.
