X Factor and Popstar to Opera Star winner Joe McElderry will be taking to the stage at The O2 this Christmas when he introduces the celebrated family Christmas ballet The Nutcracker.
From 27 to 30 December 2011 Victor Hochhauser and The O2 in association with Universal Music Arts and Entertainment will present six magical performances of Sir Peter Wright's world acclaimed interpretation of the Christmas classic, with Joe McElderry performing a selection of festive songs prior to the curtain rising.
Joe has been melting hearts all over the country as he tours his stunning recordings of traditional carols including Silent Night, to popular favourites like Driving Home For Christmas, all of which appear on his new album, Classic Christmas.
Birmingham Royal Ballet will follow the critical and commercial success of Romeo and Juliet which was staged at The O2 in June and was watched by nearly 50,000 people.
