Having captured the hearts and imaginations of generations of theatregoers, Birmingham Royal Ballet’s traditional and much-loved Christmas production of ‘The Nutcracker‘ will return to the Birmingham Hippodrome from 23 November to 13 December 2018.
Birmingham Royal Ballet has also announced that the spectacularly reimagined version of the production will return to the Royal Albert Hall in London from 28 to 31 December 2018, following a critically acclaimed premiere in 2017.
