SYNOPSIS
The sparkling lights of a towering tree, a sweeping crescendo from the full orchestra*, and a magical journey to the candy-coated realm of the Sugarplum Fairy…
Be a part of the holiday extravaganza that has enchanted New York audiences young and old for more than 50 years. George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker has been a part of Christmas in the Big Apple since 1954, and we’re proud to remain the only company west of the Mississippi licensed to perform it.
Join us this year for a little slice of Christmas in Manhattan. We can’t promise you the Rockefeller Center skating rink, but inside our theater we
guarantee there’ll be plenty of snow!
“George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker [is] a masterpiece of construction that repays endless viewings.” — The New York Times
