Attend Royal Ballet Performance of The Nutcracker
Details
What would Christmas be like without It's a Wonderful Life or The Nutcracker, Tchakovsky's gift to Christmas. And, of course, the Royal Ballet is one of the preeminent ballet troupes in the world. A treat for both children and adults. Join us before the performance at Kabuki's [across the street from the cinema] for lunch. I'll post the lunch as a separate event.
From Fathom: The magician Herr Drosselmeyer is on a quest to save his nephew. Hans-Peter has been transformed into a Nutcracker doll by the wicked Queen of the Mice; the only way to break the spell is for the Nutcracker to defeat the Mouse King and find a girl to love and care for him. A flicker of hope comes to Drosselmeyer in the form of the young Clara, whom Drosselmeyer meets at the Stahlbaum’s Christmas party. With a swish of Drosselmeyer’s cape and a little bit of magic, a cozy festive gathering turns into a marvelous adventure.
The well-known music is wonderful, and the ballet will be a bonus [true ballet fans might reverse the order]. Follow the link for a sample:
