On Sunday 15th December they will be at the Auditorium in La Nucia dancing Nutcracker - this is the seventh consecutive year that the town have welcomed the company here. The performance starts at 8pm and tickets are priced at 25 euros with a 20% discount available to pensioners, students and children. Tickets can be purchased from the box office between 10am -2pm and then again from 6pm until 8pm. Free parking is offered in the underground car park opposite the auditorium.

Then on Friday 20th December they are at the Pallau in Altea dancing Swan Lake. That performance starts at 8.30pm and tickets are also 25 euros. The box office opens 2 hours before the performance begins.

Take the opportunity to take a walk up to the Old Town - the Pallau is a very short stroll from the iconic blue domed church at the top of the hill. There are plenty of bars and restaurants where you can pop into prior to the start of the performance.

In August 2012 the St Petersburgh Russian ballet company performed at the Benidorm Palace to much acclaim and these two Christmas classics will definitely bring some festive cheer!
