The Nativity Panto

Charles Court Opera return with their thirteenth gloriously festive boutique pantomime. This year, they’ve taken the story that sparked the season and sprinkled it with a generous helping of magic, whimsy and Christmas cheer to create their most joyous show yet.

Join a cast of well known characters in this respectful yet irreverent spin on the nativity for a miraculous mix of jaw-dropping musical numbers, laugh-out-loud puns and - as always - the entirely unexpected!

From adult only performances to young children’s matinees, The Nativity Panto is perfect for families, couples, groups of friends and office parties. Don’t miss this legendary London Christmas show, which will fill you with Myrr-th into the New Year and beyond!
