Nutcracker

Over 100 dancers and musicians bring Nutcracker to life with exquisite dancing, beautiful sets and Tchaikovsky’s popular score played live.

On a sparkling Christmas Eve in a frost-dusted Edwardian London, Clara and her enchanted Nutcracker doll discover a magical world, where she battles with the Mouse King and meets a handsome stranger. As the air grows colder, Clara and her valiant Nutcracker take a hot air balloon ride across London to the glistening Land of Snow where her adventure really begins.

From the sound of the orchestra tuning up, to the final bows and cheers, a trip to English National Ballet at the London Coliseum is an unforgettable Christmas treat.

English National Ballet’s Nutcracker returns for three weeks only, following sold out performances in 2017 and 2016: book early and make Nutcracker part of your holiday celebrations.

  • First timer

    I’ve always wanted to see a ballet and thought Nutcracker would be the perfect Christmassy one to watch. The parts with the story were magical and I loved it. But the middle part where it was just ballet, yes very talented but very much the same, I started to lose interest. However my sister in law loved it all. So personal preference I suppose

    I went to Children's performance with 2 granddaughters, age 7 and 5, who both loved the ballet and were mesmerised. The Coliseum is in an ideal location too.
