Relaxed Performance
Scottish Ballet: The Nutcracker
A relaxed performance of Scottish Ballet's The Nutcracker for people requiring additional support and their families.
To make you feel welcome, relaxed and well-supported, we’ll have lots of trained staff on hand to help with any access requirements, anyone can feel free to make noise and move around the auditorium, we’ll keep the lights on, but dimmed to reduce anxiety, and we’ll provide break out spaces with a live stream of the show so that if people would like to leave the auditorium they don't have to miss out on the action.
To further enhance your enjoyment, there is also Audio Description available during the Relaxed Performance. For Audio Description, you will be given headsets from the theatre to listen to a clear explanation of what’s taking place, on stage, throughout the performance. Theatre staff will help you to use these headsets and be on hand to answer any questions.
There is no additional cost to your Relaxed Performance ticket to use the Audio Description. We do recommend that book via box office so we can help you find seats in areas with good signal for the headset. To secure your place please contact the Festival Theatre box office on 0131 529 6000.
Any onstage announcements will be BSL interpreted.
Visit the Scottish Ballet website for further information about the Relaxed Performance, including a visual story and photos of the main characters.
If you'd like to discuss your specific needs with a member of our staff, you can do so by calling the Box Office on 0131 529 6000 between Mon-Fri, 11am-3pm.
Please note that wheelchair spaces are limited.
