BIRMINGHAM Royal Ballet's sumptuous production of The Nutcracker returns to the Birmingham Hippodrome on Friday.
Dazzling stage wizardry and magnificent sets and costumes combined with Tchaikovsky's world-famous score promise a magical show.
The Nutcracker, based on a tale by Hoffman, tells the story of Clara and her family, their Christmas party and the mysterious party guest who brings fantastic gifts.
It runs until Saturday, December 15, and tickets cost £9-£38 from the box office on 0870 730 1234.
