One of the most coveted concert halls in all of the UK, a visit to the Royal Albert Hall is a spectacle in itself. Though the venue hosts an eclectic array of shows, from pop and carol concerts t0 sporting events such as the Champions Tennis, a ballet performance at the hall cannot go amiss. Watch the Birmingham Royal Ballet perform their mesmerising production of The Nutcracker this Christmas (28 – 31 December 2019) – the ideal festive family outing – or book tickets in advance of the English National Ballet’s Swan Lake which will be performed at the hall next June. royalalberthall.com

Royal Opera House

The Nutcracker

Where better to watch ballet than at the Royal Opera House? The prestigious performing arts hub is not only renowned – despite the name – for its extraordinary operatics, but is also home to The Royal Ballet, one of the most reputable ballet institutions in the world. Located amidst the cultural buzz of Covent Garden with a prepossessing palatial exterior, The Opera House itself carries with it a rich and fascinating history, originally built as a playhouse in 1732 and hosting its first ever ballet performance, Pygmalion in 1734. From a traditional rendition of The Sleeping Beauty (19 November 2019 – 16 January 2020) to Ninette de Valois’ endearing Coppélia (28 November 2019 – 7 January 2020), the Royal Opera House has an unrivalled programme of ballet to inspire all ages. roh.org.uk

Sadler’s Wells

Ballet Revolucion | Johan Persson

As a performance space devoted to all things dance, Clerkenwell’s Sadler’s Wells Theatre is the ideal place to indulge in ballet.

Book the upcoming Spring show Alina Cojocaru, (20 – 23 February 2020), in which the Romanian ballet dancer (notably an English National Ballet principal) will take to the stage with an array of renowned performers – including Danish ballet dancer Johan Kobborg – for an unforgettable show of quintessential and newfangled performances. sadlerswells.com
