choreography and colourful costumes.<br />
Whilst her mad / bad stepmother and her illmannered<br />
step-sisters prepare for the Royal<br />
Ball, graceful Cinderella can only dream of<br />
dancing with the dashing Prince. Later that<br />
evening, her rags become a glittering gown<br />
and she is swept magically to the Ball. From<br />
that very moment the Prince is smitten,<br />
midnight strikes and one lost crystal slipper<br />

to find his lost love…. Tickets: Adult from<br />

Ballet: The Nutcracker<br />
This most famous of fantasy ballets for all<br />
the family begins at nightfall on Christmas<br />
Eve. As snowflakes tumble outside, the<br />
warm glow of the open fire sends flickering<br />
shadows across the boughs of the Christmas<br />
tree and all the presents beneath. When<br />
midnight strikes we are swept away to a<br />
fairytale world where nothing is quite as<br />
it seems, toy dolls spring to life, the Mouse<br />
King and his mouse army battle with the<br />
Nutcracker Prince and we travel through<br />
the Land of Snow to an enchanted place<br />
where the magic really begins…<br />
