Teatro dell'Opera di Roma stages Lo Schiaccianoci from 15-24 December.

It wouldn't be Christmas in Rome without Tchaikovsky's mesmerising ballet, staged in a production by Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, directed by Andrea Quinn with choreography by Paul Chalmer.

Based on E.T.A. Hoffmann's magical 1816 fairytale, The Nutcracker tells the story of a little girl who goes to the Land of Sweets on Christmas Eve.
