PRESS REVIEWS
"Peter Wright's production is gloriously traditional, brilliantly choreographed, lavishly spectacular...The camera is always in the right place and Tchaikovsky's miraculously inspired score, of which one never tires, is marvellously played..." (The Penguin Guide) "...a sure-fire house filler and the perfect introduction to someone coming to the art form for the first time. There is the marvellous music of Tchaikovsky's inspired score – with tunes that anyone can whistle – colourful dances, lush costumes and lashings of stage magic. The arrival of the mouse king and the Christmas tree transformation are dazzling and the Royal Ballet's production is superb..."
