BRB’s Nutcracker dazzles at the Hippodrome

Birmingham Royal Ballet is long regarded as one of the city’s glittering treasures. The current production of The Nutcracker at the Hippodrome is not only festive but feels essential to the Christmas season. Running until 13th December, this year’s production is a well worth seeing.

From the moment the curtain rises on John F. Macfarlane’s sumptuous Victorian drawing room, the audience is immersed in an atmosphere of warmth and nostalgia. The set glows with rich detail - the crackling fire, the glint of chandeliers, the frosted light peeking through tall windows - and the party scene bursts into life with charming naturalism. Children chatter and dance around the adults, who glide through their social niceties with crisp elegance. It is a world saturated with Christmas magic even before the enchantment begins.
