Imperial Classical Ballet: The Nutcracker

Imperial Classical Ballet returns with its production of The Nutcracker, performed with a full live orchestra at Storyhouse Theatre.

Imperial Classical Ballet brings its staging of The Nutcracker to Storyhouse's Main Theatre as part of its Autumn 2026 season, following previous sold-out UK tours. The performance is set to Tchaikovsky's score played live by a full orchestra, with hand-crafted costumes, classical choreography and a cast of internationally acclaimed dancers. The story follows Clara and her Nutcracker Prince from the Christmas Eve party to the Kingdom of Sweets. The show runs 1 hour 50 minutes including an interval.
