Win a Family Ticket for 4 to the Nutcracker!

WHAT better way is there to get in the Christmas spirit than to enjoy a world class ballet with your loved ones at St David’s Hall?

We’ve got the festive season wrapped up at the National Concert Hall of Wales with FOUR enchanting productions performed by the prestigious Russian State Ballet & Orchestra of Siberia in partnership with Raymond Gubbay Ltd. Our captivating season starts with the rags to riches fairytale, Cinderella (Sat 18 – Sun 19 Dec). This perfect production is a mesmerising mix of Prokofiev’s energetic score, lively choreography and colourful costumes. Will Cinderella’s dreams come true?

Then it’s time for the whole family to enjoy the festive favourite, The Nutcracker (Mon 20 – Fri 24 Dec). Get ready to be swept off to a mysterious place where toys spring to life and the treacherous Mouse King battles the handsome Nutcracker Prince. After Christmas it’s the greatest romantic ballet of all time, Swan Lake (Mon 27 – Thurs 30 Dec), which features Tchaikovsky’s haunting score. From the majesty of the palace ballroom to moonlit lakes, this compelling tale of tragic romance has it all. The season comes to a close with another of Prokofiev’s spectacular scores in Shakespeare’s tale of primal passion and timeless tragedy, Romeo & Juliet (Fri 31 Dec & Sun 2 Jan). Experience the grandeur of the masked ball and the intimacy of the lovers’ balcony in this unmissable, star-crossed story of family feuds and doomed love set in bustling Renaissance Verona. Once again, this year’s ballet season features a sprinkling of special effects with an atmospheric and ever-changing digital backdrop to make everything even more magical!
