In a deserted city, a young boy stumbles into a theatre. He wanders through the audition, where rows of velvet chairs, draping curtains and chandeliers seem to lie in lovely wait for audiences to return. The theatre may be empty, but the show will go on...

Starring characters from Scottish Ballet's most popular festive ballets, the worlds of the Snow Queen and the Sugar Plum Fairy collide when the theatre bursts into life. In this spectacular, hour-long film, you'll be treated to an extraordinary show filled with acrobats, snowflakes, clowns, princes and - of course - beautiful ballerinas.

The Secret Theatre features the choreography of Scottish Ballet founder Peter Darelle and CEO/Artistic Director Christopher Hampson, co-directed for the screen by Jess and Morgs. With set and costumes designed by Lez Brotherston, music by Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky recorded live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra, new additional composition by Frank Moon, and performances from the full Scottish Ballet Company, this Christmas special is an unforgettable adventure for the whole family
