Star-studded performances of The Da Vinci Code and Fat Friends The Musical in Sheffield Theatres' new season

First up is The Russian State Ballet of Siberia at the Lyceum from January 10 to 15. Choose from Swan Lake, set to Tchaikovsky’s haunting score, or The Nutcracker, the most famous of fantasy ballets.
