Performer: Scottish Ballet Orchestra

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

Annabelle Lopez Ochoa's A Streetcar Named Desire for Scottish Ballet fires on all cylinders. Compelling drama and outstanding dancing make this a must-see.

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.
