"This is all the more so when you have a Clara and a Hans-Peter/Nutcracker of the calibre of Francesca Hayward and Alexander Campbell. Both recently promoted to principal, they make an enchanting couple, both exceptionally light on their feet and attentive to the score, their characters very much wrapped up in each other. As for Herr Drosselmeyer, the enigmatic magician who drives the entire plot, no one can swish a turquoise cape quite like Gary Avis: this masterful dancer-actor lends pompous exactitude, wittily theatrical flamboyance and cast-iron authority to this vital part." The Daily Telegraph
