Music from the Nutcracker

Travel through the enchanted forest to the Land of Sweets where Clara and the Nutcracker Prince are presented with gifts from around the world; Chocolate from Spain, Coffee from Arabia and far more.

For generations the soundtrack to this ballet has become part of the cultural capital of the festive season of Christmas; most of the pieces are already familiar to many of the children thanks to it being borrowed by films, TV and games and as being a source of inspiration to the likes of John Williams and his music from Home Alone and Harry Potter.

Explore Tchaikovsky’s music through active listening activities and play along pieces.
