Directed by Christopher Gable with choreography by Massimo Morricone, Northern Ballet’s A Christmas Carol was a huge success when it was first performed back in 1992. Now, over 30 years later, the production retains all of its magic; its graceful balletic harmony, the inclusion of some of the best-known Christmas carols and Les Brotherton’s versatile design make it the theatrical equivalent of a snow globe, a world sealed and preserved.
