The Nutcracker - how Christmassy can you get?

Experience the magic and wonder of New York City Ballet’s treasured holiday favourite, George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker®.

Our guide to New York City Ballet's - The Nutcracker

Let Tschaikovsky’s transcendent melodies sweep you away with young Marie as she encounters the fearsome Mouse King and a blustery blizzard of ballerinas before arriving in the delectable Land of Sweets.

With awe-inducing special effects, including a Christmas tree of epic proportions, dazzling sets and costumes, and exquisite choreography infusing every moment with joy and excitement, it’s no wonder this beloved production delights audiences of all ages.

During the holiday period, the entire Company is immersed in activities surrounding George Balanchine's The Nutcracker®. All 90 dancers, 62 musicians, 40 stagehands and more than 125 children, in two alternating casts, from the School of American Ballet join forces to make each performance as magical as possible.

George Balanchine's The Nutcracker®, based on the Alexandre Dumas pere version of E.T.A. Hoffmann's tale, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (1816), demands a full-scale production.
