Why see Phoenix Ballet - The Nutcracker?

A Family-Friendly Festive Favorite

The highlight of the Phoenix Ballet's winter season, the critically acclaimed Nutcracker promises a spirit-lifting, festive evening of enchanting dance and soaring music. The ensemble's artistic director Slawomir Wozniak breathes new life into the Yuletide favorite with inventive, exuberant and often acrobatic choreography that injects a sense of fun and a sprinkling of light-hearted humour into the widely-performed ballet, striking a perfect balance between tradition and innovation.

Prepare to be whisked away to a magical land where toys come to life and the Sugar Plum Fairy and the fearsome Mouse King reside!
