Scottish Ballet’s Wee Nutcracker comes to Tramway!

Enchanting characters are performed by our dancers in this specially adapted version of the beloved festive ballet, perfect for children aged 5+ and their families who are looking to experience their first ballet together.

Follow Clara on her magical adventures through the Land of Sweets in a production designed to captivate young imaginations and introduce them to the world of classical ballet. Created by Scottish Ballet Associate Choreographer Nicholas Shoesmith and award-winning children’s theatre specialist Robert Evans, this magical show brings the classic tale to life through delightful movement and engaging storytelling. Wee Nutcracker will feature a live pianist and a recording of the full Scottish Ballet orchestra playing the spectacular Tchaikovsky score.

We’ve created Wee Nutcracker with families in mind by adapting and modifying the content of the original production, and the duration has been reduced to 45 minutes. These modifications will make for a welcoming, comfortable, and relaxed experience for all the family to enjoy.

Supporting Partner: Albert Bartlett

Suitable for ages 5+

Running time: The performance lasts approximately 45 mins with no interval.
