» St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre
A perfect festive family outing gift-wrapped for your enjoyment at Brighton Dome
Everyone loves a festive trip to the ballet and this year we are delighted to welcome the captivating St Petersburg Ballet Theatre back to Brighton Dome with another spellbinding programme.
The Nutcracker provides timeless seasonal entertainment for all ages: instantly recognisable live music, exquisite sets, sparkling costumes and faultless dancing from world-class soloists combine to create an evening that memories are made of. A visit to the Land of Sweets, a meeting with the Sugar Plum Fairy and an encounter with the sneaky Rat King make sure that you get swept up in the festive spirit and carried away with this fairytale.
“More than excellent…dancing of sheer beauty matched by the costumes and scenery”
Judith Monk, Musical Opinion, March 2007
This year, for the first time, we have two special gala evenings – featuring the stars of St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre in a medley of the very best moments from the classical repertoire. With a programme of classical ballet gems, this is sure to be the perfect evening out for ballet lovers everywhere.
In Swan Lake, Princess Odette is transformed into a swan by evil magician Rothbart. Prince Siegfried falls in love with the beautiful princess, but Rothbart conspires to keep them apart. This classic tale of thwarted lovers and happy endings boasts some of the best-loved moments in classical ballet.
