CARLOS ACOSTA'S NUTCRACKER IN HAVANA

A Cuban take on the favourite festive classic, Carlos Acosta’s brand-new production NUTCRACKER IN HAVANA explodes onto Wolverhampton Grand’s stage, featuring new choreography by Carlos Acosta CBE performed by more than 20 dancers from his Cuban company, Acosta Danza.

Set to an exuberant Cuban version of the magnificent Tchaikovsky score, the timeless story is brought to life with ballet at its core, enriched with Acosta Danza’s unique style and with Cuban dance traditions beautifully woven throughout the much-loved and joyful family tale.

For dance fans around the globe, Carlos is an international superstar of the classical ballet world. Born in Havana and trained at the National School of Ballet in Cuba, he went on to dance professionally with the world’s most prestigious companies, with London’s Royal Ballet becoming his home. Having tackled huge titles throughout his career, from Carmen to Don Quixote, NUTCRACKER IN HAVANA is an opportunity for Acosta to fuse this festive treat with a little Havana heat.
