Christmas Countdown: The Nutcracker

Francesca Hayward in The Nutcracker ROH Tristram Kenton

The Royal Ballet is giving The Nutcracker a miss this year so if you’re missing your Christmas fix you may want to catch a Live Cinema screening at a cinema near you between today (December 9th 2019) and January 16th 2020.

This performance, recorded live at the Royal Opera House, London in 2016, features the exquisite Francesca Hayward as Clara and Alexander Campbell as Hans-Peter with the ever entertaining Gary Avis as Drosselmeyer.

Francesca is soon to be seen playing Victoria the White Cat in Cats the movie. Also look out for her in the movie Romeo and Juliet: Beyond Words screening in selected cinemas.
