THE NUTCRACKER
November 30-December 29, 2019
Choreographer: © Christopher Wheeldon
Music: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Wheeldon's acclaimed turn-of-the-century tale opens on Christmas Eve,
1892, mere months before the grand opening of the 1893 World's Fair, as
young Marie and her mother prepare for a Christmas Eve potluck
celebration. The magic of the season takes hold when a visit from The
Great Impresario sets off a whirlwind journey of romance and adventure
through a dreamlike World's Fair.
A must-see tradition boldly reimagined for a new generation.
The Nutcracker runs approximately 2 hours including one 20-minute intermission.
