Winchcombe WI on a night out at the ballet

The Winchcombe WI go to the Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury to see the  Nutcracker, on November 16th.

It is in an evening, not our usual outing time! Everyone was enchanted by the young and delightful State Ballet Academy from Minsk.

Jo, yet again very many thanks for a wonderful evening out!

"For many generations, The Nutcracker has been an
integral part of the pre-Christmas season, conjuring
up the magic of falling snow flakes and the smell of
Christmas spices. This production is based on “The
Nutcracker and the Mouse King,” written by E.T.A.
Hoffmann, and tells the story of Marie, a rather sad
little girl, whose godfather Drosselmeier gives her a ALL AGES
nutcracker as a present on Christmas Eve. Before Marie’s astonished eyes, the nutcracker turns into a prince who whisks the young girl away on an enchanting journey into the Sugar Plum Fairy’s realm of sweets.
The ensemble’s masterful classic dance performance, the stunning
costumes and a sublime stage set transport you to another world, filled
with dreams and inspired by festive fairytales."
