Listen to the Bentley assembly line perform Sugarplum Fairy from The Nutcracker

Bentley is getting into festive mood ahead of the coming Christmas with an elaborate rendition of Sugarplum Fairy, one of the most recognizable melodies from Piotr Tchaikovsky’s ballet, The Nutcracker. Put your headphones on!

The “instruments” used in the arrangement include drills, brushing and sewing machines, and other unconventional sources. The assembly line workers still had to perform the main theme by whistling and clattering spoons.

For Bentley, this charming little experiment wasn’t just to set mood: the company used the opportunity to highlight the inner workings of its vast industrial complex. The scenes shown prompt the assumption that the whole video was shot during the assembly of a single Flying Spur sedan.
