We’ve been to the Hall for Cornwall this evening to see The Nutcracker by the Mergaliyev Classical Ballet company and what joy that was. I’ve come away feeling proper happy. We loved the live music, watching the musicians almost as much of a treat as watching the ballet. 
I thought you might like to read a little bit of Cornish on the safety curtain at the interval. 
Waiting to pay for parking in Truro afterwards my eye was caught by a shop front.

I’m not sure I would be encouraging 8 year olds to throw axes! 😲

We listen to or watch the Nutcracker at least once a season. Beautiful on so many levels.
Love the name ~ the Celtic Tossers.

So do we and we love it too. Last year we saw a livestream of Matthew Bourne’s version which was very different and absolutely brilliant! Catch it if you can. 😊
