A festive favourite is set to delight audiences across the North East when Crown Ballet brings its touring production of The Nutcracker to the region.

The company will perform Tchaikovsky's ballet at Consett's Empire Theatre on Saturday, November 14, at 2.30pm, before appearing at Middlesbrough Theatre the following day at 5.30pm.

The Nutcracker follows Marie after her nutcracker doll comes to life and takes her through a snowy forest to the Kingdom of Sweets.

The ballet features Tchaikovsky's famous score, classical choreography, vibrant costumes and international dancers.

The tour marks Amande Concerts' 20th year of bringing classical ballet to theatres across the UK.

Crown Ballet promises festive storytelling, music and dance for all ages.

Tickets are available from either theatre's box office or website.
