Be transported to the Land of Sweets when The Nutcracker returns to Lincoln Center this holiday season. Set to Tschaikovsky’s luminous score, Balanchine’s masterful choreography carries audiences alongside young Marie through a dreamlike world of mischievous mice, swirling snow, and glittering confections from around the world. Featuring a breathtaking Christmas tree that rises before your eyes, and an atmosphere unlike anything else in the city, this enduring classic remains one of NYCB's most beloved traditions. Program: George Balanchine's The Nutcracker® — Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky
