Wayne Eagling’s captivating production of The Nutcracker at the London Coliseum takes audiences on an enchanting journey with Clara, her Nutcracker doll and the magician Drosselmeyer. In costumes shimmering with Swarovski Crystallised elements, English National Ballet’s dancers bring to life Tchaikovsky’s eternally popular score which features the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Waltz of the Flowers and many other familiar favourites. Swarovski have generously supported English National Ballet since 2007. Set in a world of frosty Edwardian elegance designed by Peter Farmer, this magical production has been enjoyed by over 200,000 since it opened in 2010.

This is English National Ballet’s 12th production of The Nutcracker since it performed its first full length Nutcracker in its founding year of 1950. English National Ballet has established the tradition of performing The Nutcracker every single Christmas since then.

Guests were treated to a cocktail, The Nutcracker, specially created by Light Bar for English National Ballet, made from Imperial Collection Gold Vodka served with Bailey's Irish Cream, Amaretto Almond, Frangelico Hazelnut and vanilla ice cream. Delicious canapés by Asia de Cuba included round vegetable tartlets and goat’s cheese mousse, mini fish and chips on mushy peas, mini turkey burgers with cranberry sauce, mushroom parcels, halloumi and pepper skewers, duck pancake rolls, mini Christmas puddings with rum custard and mini Mexican doughnuts.

To end the evening guests moved over to the London Coliseum for a performance of The Nutcracker, with party bags filled with ESPA Fitness Oils and Penhaligons Iris Prima perfume. Flowers and crystal candelabras were provided by Laura Kuy.

English National Ballet’s timeless production of The Nutcracker runs until 5 January 2014.
