MOSCOW Ballet presents The Nutcracker at The Anvil on Saturday, November 14 at 7.30pm. 

This production is the perfect pre-Christmas treat for the family and an ideal introduction to ballet.

All is quiet in the great house and young Clara creeps downstairs. The Christmas tree stands alone and in the darkness, through the curtains, the moonlight beams onto the colourful presents offered there.

It is midnight and the clock strikes heralding in the spirit of Christmas. Yet something stirs in the darkness beyond, and thus unfolds this magical festive tale of The Nutcracker.

Tickets: £26 and £24; over 65s and fulltime students £2 off; under 16s pay £13.50 (includes £1 booking fee)
