Nutcracker Delights: English National Ballet

In 2020, the English National Ballet continued its long-standing tradition of performing The Nutcracker, which dates back to 1950. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the company adapted its production by filming a special version of Nutcracker Delights, allowing fans to enjoy the magic of the ballet from home.

The film captures Clara's journey with her enchanted Nutcracker as they embark on a hot air balloon ride to the Land of Snow. Iconic scenes are featured, including appearances by the Sugar Plum Fairy, Snowflakes, and Flowers. This version was filmed on December 18 and 19 at the London Coliseum, showcasing the artistry of the English National Ballet.

For collectors of dance and music films, Nutcracker Delights presents a unique addition to any collection. The film not only celebrates a cherished holiday classic but also represents a significant moment in the history of live performance during challenging times.
