The Nutcracker (Birmingham Royal Ballet)

Created exclusively for the Royal Albert Hall, the Birmingham Royal Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker will leap back onto the west London stage this Christmas in a flurry of tulle and snowflakes. Using Peter Wright’s choreography, this version has a much more limited run than the English National Ballet and Royal Ballet productions, but a variety of start times ranging from midday to 7pm make the Royal Albert Hall a good accessible option.
