Ballet in two acts (1892)

Special Xmas encore screenings! At a cosy Christmas party, young Clara meets the mysterious magician Drosselmeyer, who gives her a nutcracker doll. When the guests have departed and the house is asleep, Clara sneaks downstairs in search of the doll. Instead, she finds Drosselmeyer, who whisks her away on a journey into a whole world of enchantment: fantastical landscapes of flurried snow and glittering confection where toys come alive and the magic never stops. Peter Wrights production of this festive family favourite sparkles to the wondrous swell of Tchaikovskys orchestral score, alongside the glow and grandeur of Julia Trevelyan Omans period designs.

Screening Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 December 2026 at 1pm, Plus Wednesday 23 December 2026 at 12pm

Adults: $28.00, Concessions: $22.00
