The Nutcracker Suite and The Snowman (With Live Orchestra)

Two seasonal favourites come together in this special Christmas event. The story of The Nutcracker is brought to life with a special narration read by CBeebies own Pui Fan Lee, accompanied by beautiful, newly created illustrations. This is followed by the magical film The Snowman, screened with a live performance of 'Walking in the Air', the soundtrack to every child's Christmas. Both pieces are accompanied throughout by the Southbank Sinfonia (conducted by Ben Palmer). The perfect way to begin your celebrations.
