Performer: Christopher Hampson

In the third revival since 2014, Peter Darrell's 1973 Nutcracker still has all the right ingredients to send the audience home feeling joyous.

Christopher Hampson's reinvented version of his own original Cinderella, Cinders!, is a triumph of theatre, whether the central character is danced by a man or a woman.

Clearly on a mission to prove that today’s dance world comprises many styles that feed into and refresh each other, Scottish Ballet starts as it means to go on.
