The magic of the Nutcracker, Mouse King, Sugar Plum Fairies, Mother Ginger and so many more of our favorite characters — and the lavish costumes, sets and scenery that go with them — return for the beginning of the holiday season. This enchanting tale brings Tchaikovsky’s timeless and compelling music to life through dance while serving as a one-hour introduction to classical music and the art of ballet.
