Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet

This production of The Nutcracker, performed by The Former Moscow Ballet, brings Tchaikovsky's classic holiday ballet to life. The story follows young Clara's journey on Christmas Eve, featuring the Nutcracker doll and the Mouse King.

The ballet premiered in 1892 in Saint Petersburg, with choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, and a score noted for its use of the celesta. Since the late 1960s, it has been danced by many ballet companies, becoming a popular holiday tradition.
