The Nutcracker Touch Tour
We offer free touch tours and audio described performances at a specially discounted price for our visually impaired patrons. Get up close to a selection of costumes and props, hear more about the dancers and the characters they are playing. Some examples of gestures and movements specific to the performance will also be given. Visually impaired audience members are provided with headsets and, as the curtain rises, the audio description begins. The live commentary describes the movement and action on stage whilst allowing enough space to enjoy the music played by the Scottish Ballet orchestra.
