Among the family beehives during a long summer in the Basque countryside, an eight-year-old child begins to question their gender identity, just as her mother (a sculptor who works with beeswax) struggles with her creative identity.  Sofía Otero rightly won the Silver Bear at Berlinale for her ‘effortlessly naturalistic’ performance, and the Guardian praised the director’s ‘beguiling delicacy and emotional acuity’;  this is a lovely, heartfelt and understated drama.

Ymhlith cychod gwenyn y teulu yn ystod haf hir yng nghefn gwlad y Basg, mae plentyn wyth oed yn dechrau cwestiynu eu hunaniaeth o ran rhywedd, yn union fel y mae ei mam (cerflunydd sy’n gweithio gyda chŵyr gwenyn) yn brwydro â’i hunaniaeth greadigol.  Enillodd Sofía Otero yr Arth Arian yn Berlinale yn gwbl briodol am ei pherfformiad ‘diymdrech o naturiolaidd’, a chanmolodd y Guardian ‘danteithfwyd hudolus a chraffter emosiynol’ y cyfarwyddwr;  mae hon yn ddrama hyfryd, dwymgalon a chynnil.

Join Clara at a delightful Christmas Eve party that becomes a magical adventure once everyone else is tucked up in bed. Marvel at the brilliance of Tchaikovsky’s score, as Clara and her enchanted Nutcracker fight the Mouse King and visit the Sugar Plum Fairy in the glittering Kingdom of Sweets.

Peter Wright’s much-loved production for The Royal Ballet, with gorgeous period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman, keeps true to the spirit of this festive ballet classic, combining the thrill of the fairy tale with spectacular dancing.

Mae cynhyrchiad poblogaidd Peter Wright ar gyfer The Royal Ballet, gyda chynlluniau cyfnod hyfryd gan Julia Trevelyan Oman, yn cadw’n driw i ysbryd y clasur bale Nadoligaidd hwn, gan gyfuno gwefr y stori dylwyth teg â dawnsio ysblennydd.
