About This Event

Share the joy of Storytime Ballet: The Nutcracker, an interactive ballet experience for children aged three years and older. With an enchanting score and charming story, this beloved ballet transports audiences into the traditional festive fairytale. On Christmas Eve Clara receives a nutcracker doll who magically comes to life. Together they battle the Rat King and visit the Land of Sweets for a grand celebration with the Sugar Plum Fairy before Clara wakes up at the foot of the Christmas tree – but was it really all a dream? The perfect introduction to ballet, Storytime Ballet: The Nutcracker is led by an engaging narrator and runs for under an hour to keep your little ones captivated. Dressing-up in your favourite ballet-inspired outfit and dancing in your seat are warmly encouraged! Please note that flashing wands and smoke/ haze will be used during this performance. Storytime Ballet: The Nutcracker is an interactive performance with light-up wands used throughout. To enhance your experience, guests can purchase a wand from the merchandise counter at the venue or bring one from home.
