Scottish Ballet’s The Nutcracker is at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness next week, bringing a wonderful, magical and timeless show the whole family will enjoy.
The winter production, which has already visited Aberdeen, harks back to Scottish Ballet’s earlier years by rejuvenating the founding artistic director’s production. More than 40 years since it premiered, Peter Darrell’s version promises to have lost none of its freshness, but stays close to the family-friendly, magical core of the story.
The plot follow the festive tale of Clara and her journey to a glittering kingdom of sweets, toys and, of course, the Sugar Plum Fairy – all dancing beautifully to Tchaikovsky’s original spellbinding score. The costumes and set have been designed by Lez Brotherston, Olivier-award-winning designer, who is well known for his work with Matthew Bourne.
The enduring story and fairtytale ballet is at Eden Court from Wednesday, January 21, to Saturday, January 24. Tickets from www.eden-court.co.uk or 01463 234234.
