Imperial Classical Ballet will perform the festive masterpiece at the Bournemouth Pavilion on Thursday, November 6 at 7.30pm. Hoffmann’s beloved tale, the ballet follows young Marie and her enchanted Nutcracker doll, which magically transforms into a prince on Christmas Eve. Together, they journey through a world of snowflakes, sweets and dreams. The performance will include a large live orchestra, dazzling choreography, glittering costumes, and Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score – including the Waltz of the Flowers and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Producer Alexej Ignatow, of Amande Concerts Ltd, said: "We are committed to bringing world-class ballet to theatres nationwide, offering unforgettable productions at accessible prices, without ever compromising on quality."
