Carlos Acosta’s Nutcracker in Havana

Certified dance legend Carlos Acosta is putting on a Cuban take on the traditional Christmas ballet this winter. There will be no dancing snowflakes in this production, as we follow Clara as she gets ready to celebrate Christmas with her family in Havana. But don’t worry, there will still be a Nutcracker, Rat King and Sugarplum Fairy, just not as you’d usually expect it. The show will be set to a newly commissioned Cuban version of the original Tchaikovsky score.
