EMMA, a timeless love story from one of the most widely read writers of all time, is a musical that will entice modern audiences to fall in love again with one of Jane Austen’s most adored characters. Paul Gordon’s critically acclaimed stage adaptation re-imagines the Austen’s classic in mid-century modern yet keeps the language intact.

The Royal Ballet’s The Nutcracker is the quintessential Christmas ballet. When her nutcracker toy comes to life, young Clara is transported by the magician Drosselmeyer to a magical world of excitement and delight. With sumptuous period designs, spellbinding stage effects and Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, The Nutcracker continues to enchant audiences of all ages. Marianela Nuñez stars as the exquisite Sugar Plum Fairy and Vadim Muntagirov as her charming Prince in this production from the Royal Opera House.

A holiday mash-up for the whole family, this contemporary dance spectacle is a re-mixed and re-imagined version of the classic, smashing hip hop dance and Tchaikovksy’s timeless music together into a heart-stirring and inspirational holiday event. Just like the original, Maria-Clara and the Nutcracker Prince go on a dream adventure battling a gang of mice, visiting the land of sweets and learning the lessons of the holiday season, but merged with traditional 19th Century Germany to the vibrant, diverse sights and sounds of contemporary New York City.
