The Snow Maiden Protected from the outside world by Father Frost, the exquisite Snow Maiden plays innocently amongst the dancing snowflakes in the enchanted Land of Frost. Based on a traditional folk-tale, this ballet is set in the snow covered landscape of rural Russia. Captivated by the colourful village of the human world, the Snow Maiden ventures too far and is swept up by feelings of love, temptation and betrayal. When finally she surrenders herself completely and warms to love, her heart melts in a tragic embrace. The Nutcracker The most famous of fantasy ballets for all the family begins as night falls on Christmas Eve. As snowflakes drift outside, the warm glow of the open fire sends flickering shadows across the boughs of the Christmas tree and all the presents beneath. When midnight strikes we are swept away to a fairy-tale world where nothing is quite as it seems: toy dolls spring to life, the Mouse-king and his Mouse-army battle with the Nutcracker Prince, and we travel through the Land of Snow to an enchanted place where the magic really begins. Accompanied by The Orchestra of the Russian State Ballet conducted by Anatoly Tchepurnoi. @RaymondGubbay #GuiDANCEonline

Giselle The most poignant of all classical ballets is filled with dramatic passion in a chilling and heart-rending tale of love, treachery and forgiveness from beyond the grave. The moving story of delicate Giselle and her aristocratic yet duplicitous lover Albrecht is set to a glorious score. From the visual splendor of the rustic villagers gathering the harvest, to the eerie moonlit forest haunted by beautifully drifting spirits – this production is unforgettable.
