The Royal Ballet's The Nutcracker at the Uránia

Peter Wright's Covent Garden production of The Nutcracker, recorded in December 2025 and screened in the Uránia's grand hall on Christmas Day. It is shown in English.

About the event

Mayara Magri dances the Sugar Plum Fairy, Reece Clarke the Prince, Marianna Tsembenhoi plays Clara and Taisuke Nakao is Hans-Peter, with James Hay as Drosselmeyer. Charlotte Politi conducts Tchaikovsky's score. Wright's staging keeps Lev Ivanov's choreography at its core and sets it in Julia Trevelyan Oman's period designs, following Clara from a Christmas party into a world of falling snow, glittering sweets and toys that come to life. The screening runs 240 minutes with one interval. Tickets are sold at the Uránia box office, on its website and through the Interticket network, and anyone arriving late can only take a seat on the upper side gallery until the interval.
