Home of the Birmingham Royal Ballet. Second home to Welsh National Opera. The Midlands' Premier Theatre, offering the best in musicals, ballet, opera, comedy, and pantomime. Re-opened at the end of 2001 after major redevelopment. There is now a studio theatre seating 200 called the Patrick Centre which is part of the Hippodrome on Thorp Street.
This delicious theatrical feast has family-sized helpings of Matthew Bourne’s trademark wit, pathos and magical fantasy. Nutcracker! follows Clara’s bittersweet journey from a hilariously bleak Christmas Eve at Dr. Dross’ Orphanage, through a shimmering, ice-skating winter wonderland to the scrumptious candy kingdom of Sweetieland. Tchaikovsky s glorious score performed by a live orchestra and Anthony Ward s unforgettable sets and costumes combine with sizzling choreography to create a fresh and charmingly irreverent interpretation of the traditional Christmas favourite. Running time: 1hr 55mins (inclu. 20min interval)
