The opening night of the Royal Ballet’s The Nutcracker will be screened live at the Eden Cinemas tomorrow at 8.15pm. A firm family favourite with Tchaikovsky’s mesmerising score, Peter Wright’s production tells the story of Clara, danced by Royal Ballet principal Francesca Hayward, whose Christmas is transformed by a visit from Drosselmeyer, a mysterious magician and maker of magical toys.
Drosselmeyer longs to break a curse that has turned his nephew, danced by Australian principal Alexander Campbell, into a nutcracker doll.
For tickets visit www.edencinemas.com.mt or the Eden Cinemas Box Office. Complimentary parking at the Eden car park.
An encore screening will be held at the Eden Cinemas, St Julian’s on Sunday at 3pm.
