Nutcracker this Christmas

[Niceproblemtohave]

Does anyone know if there are any performances of the Nutcracker happening in London this year as I'm a bit confused

The Royal Albert Hall state they are doing some live events, but tickets aren't on sale. The Royal Opera House says they are doing it but then the blurb talks about watching it from cinemas. And then the London Coliseum is selling tickets as if everything will continue as normal.

Is anyone planning on going to this or other Christmassy shows?? Thanks

RAH has their Christmas events up now as I've just booked Carols for 23rd

The Royal Opera House are going to have a socially distanced nutcracker. I think they release their winter programme in the next week or so.

We have tickets for the ENO nutcracker which we booked back in February for Christmas Eve and I wish they would let us know if it's going ahead or not (I can't imagine it is with the original seating arrangements).

This was what was in the email I got from ROH:

"December at the ROH

We have an exciting live programme planned for the Christmas season, including a reworked, Covid-safe version of The Nutcracker, and several concerts from The Royal Opera. You will be able to watch these performances live at Covent Garden or online.

Stay tuned for more information.

Tickets will be available soon."

We go every year but can't this year as it's not on where we live and can't afford London prices . But I truly hope that as many people who can go this year, do- the arts need the support and I really wish I could put into the industry

Thanks that's really helpful. Yes I'm a bit reluctant to book the ENO one as can't imagine it's really going ahead as usual - but that's what the seating plan seems to suggest

I think I'll have to try and stalk the RoH website and get in there quick.

Covid safe version? Can't they give us more detail..... I'd love to see it again at roh

I had an email from the ENO today that the Nutcracker is not going ahead but instead they are putting on a special production called Nutcracker Delights. Booking opens on 28th Oct.
