What to expect
Resident ballet companies stage their own productions in their home theatre for a set season, often with a live orchestra, while touring companies travel between cities and may play only a handful of dates in each. The holiday season brings Nutcracker productions from resident companies, touring troupes and local dance schools.
Programmes usually mix full-length story ballets with shorter mixed bills, and running times include one or more intervals. Matinees are often the easiest choice for families, and each listing shows the venue, start time and age guidance before you buy.
