RUSSIAN National Ballet's production of The Nutcracker
will be staged at Runcorn's Brindley Theatre next month.
The performance - on Sunday October 20 - is among the jewels of Tchaikovsky's repertoire and an eternal seasonal favourite.
A charming and kindly fairy tale, the Christmas tale is based on The Nutcracker and the Mouse King written by E T A Hoffmann.
It tells the story of Marie, a sad little girl, whose godfather Drosselmeier gives her a Nutcracker doll as a present on Christmas Eve.
In her lively imagination it turns into a prince and the magic starts …
A spokesman for The Brindley said: "This promises to be an unforgettable journey in the run-up to Christmas and an ideal introduction to audiences of any age to the magic that is classical ballet.
"A wonderful treat full of glitter for the whole family!"
