Saint Petersburg Classic Ballet returns to the Cambridge Corn Exchange with “a delightfully festive tale and the perfect introduction to ballet” in the form of The Nutcracker next weekend.

“This enchanting ballet tells the story of Clara’s magical adventure with her Nutcracker Prince, including a visit to the Land of Sweets and the delightful Sugar Plum Fairy, and is a real treat for the whole family,” say promoters.

“Itt boasts impressive technique, exquisite artistry and bold production with an air of magic, complemented by a full orchestra and outstanding soloists who will take your breath away.”

It is at the venue at 2.30pm and 7.30pm on Friday (30) and 2.30pm on Saturday (31).

Tickets; £17.75 to £37.75, available from www.cambridgelivetrust.co.uk
