The Story Orchestra THE NUTCRACKER – ill Jessica Courtney-Tickle, text by Katy Flint

September 28, 2017 By achuka Leave a Comment

A retelling of the classic Chirstmas ballet, with short (at just 10 seconds I found these a little tantalising and  often too brief to cover a reading of the text) extracts from the relevant section of the score.

It’s a clever way to show the way music and narrative combine and Courtney-Tickle’s illustrations are fittingly festive.
