The Nutcracker

Tchaikovsky’s all-time seasonal favourite is back, as delivered by the Astana Opera Ballet and Orchestra. Choreography is by Yuri Grigorovich, the set designs by Simon Virsaladze are described as “stunning”, and the blurb promises that audiences will be transported “into a magical world where dreams come to life”. Which is what you want from a classical Christmas ballet danced in the classical manner.

There are performances at 2pm and 8pm today and on 22 December.
