    From the sound of English National Ballet Philharmonic tuning up, to the final bows and cheers, a trip to English National Ballet's Nutcracker is an unforgettable Christmas treat.
    Founded in 1950 as London Festival Ballet by the great English Dancers Alicia Markova and Anton Dolin, English National Ballet has been at the forefront of ballet’s growth and evolution ever since.
    English National Ballet brings world class ballet to the widest possible audience through performances across the UK and on eminent international stages including The Bolshoi Theatre and Palais Garnier; its distinguished orchestra, English National Ballet Philharmonic; and being a UK leader in creative learning and engagement practice, building innovative partnerships to deliver flagship programmes such as English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s.
    Under the artistic directorship of Tamara Rojo CBE, English National Ballet has introduced ground-breaking new works to the Company’s repertoire whilst continuing to honour the tradition of great classical ballet, gaining acclaim for artistic excellence and creativity. 2019 saw English National Ballet enter a new chapter in its history with a move into a purpose-built state-of-the-art home in East London which brings a renewed commitment to, and freedom for, creativity, ambition, and connection to more people, near and far, than ever before.

      Yes! A wonderfully threatening mask isn't it? Designs are by Peter Farmer.

    Fun fact:
    As a gifted young poet and performing arts student Tupac, played The Mouse King in a production at the elite Baltimore School of the Arts, where he studied ballet and acting.
    Interesting to think what might have been, had his family not chosen to relocate to California, where his career as a Rapper and his Thug Life persona began. He would have been a genius either way.

    I love how twisted and creepy the costume of this mouse king is. It's almost like if pennywise was alive during the black plague.

    Man, this actually made me so happy. Idc how late I am. I’m new to ballet although experienced in band performances, both group and solo; as well as exotic dancing. This is just so wonderful to see the level of not only talent but just overall communal effort. I long to be a part of a group again that makes things some day. The costumes are amazing and the man speaking really delivered.
