The rich ambiance of the London Coloseum, in combination with excellent dancing and music by the National Ballet, was what made the show memorable. The photo shows us settling in a New Years Eve matinee performance. December 31st, 2024.

The performance was incredible. It was a surprise to recall the tickets had been purchased back in Apr24 for a Jan25 performance. The theatre is beautiful & the seats we had in row C of the balcony allowed us to see the complete stage. Even if you did think you might fall over the edge! Seats are rigid backs & very upright. There's a lift which is nicer than the stairs to the balcony. A beautiful evening.

The wonderful and elaborate stage set in a historic building and the highly professional dancers. It was especially nice that the youngsters were involved as little sweeties. Simply fantastic.View original review in German

Very beautiful musical rendition of the Nutcracker (congratulations to the entire orchestra) and equally beautiful was the ballet. Part 2 after intermission was a little more expressive for us. The dancers took us into that world along with the music. Beautiful!View original review in Dutch
