Concert Information

Rich with famous melodies and sweetened by a glittering array of dances, Act II depicts the child heroine’s sleigh ride to the Kingdom of Sweets, ruled by the Sugar Plum Fairy.

In the first half of the concert, there’s more fairy tale music, another sleigh-ride and a festive fantasy on one of our best-loved carols.
