The Nutcracker - one of our favourite Christmas ballets is in Cardiff this Christmas
The Christmas ballet with a Welsh twist.
The Cardiff Christmas Festival opens with a festive classic, performed in the intimacy of a magical Spiegeltent.
Already a firm family favourite with those who attended the celebrated opening run in 2021, The Rubicon Dance Company presents its highly acclaimed full-length contemporary ballet of The Nutcracker - Wales’ first reimagining of its kind, featuring a rich cast of recognisably Welsh characters, including Uncle Idris, Bop Sheila & Bopa Linda and The Mari Lwyd!
Audiences are invited along for a magical ride through the Williams’ Family Christmas. We are taken into a dream world of snowstorms!
Suitable for all ages.
Running Time Approximately 1 Hour & 10 mins (with no interval)
