Tchaikovsky Series

Conductor: Mark Lansom

Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker Suite

Tchaikovsky: Manfred Symphony

Our Tchaikovsky mini-series ends with the most popular of his ballet suites and his largest and most misunderstood symphony. The Nutcracker Suite includes such gems as the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and its famous March and Waltz. In the second half, unnumbered but written after his fourth symphony and before his fifth, Tchaikovsky’s ode to Byron’s epic novel produces one of his own most epic and extreme creations. Do not miss this rare performance of this unforgettable work.

SPECIAL OFFER: Buy tickets for both concerts in our Tchaikovsky series for only Balcony £15, Stalls £10, Concessions £8 (when bought together. Offer closes February 23^rd 2008)
