About The Performance

During the holiday period, the entire Company is immersed in activities surrounding George Balanchine’s The NutcrackerAll 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.

Audiences of all ages are sure to be captivated by the lure of Tschaikovsky’s music, Balanchine’s choreography, Karinska’s sumptuous costumes, and Rouben Ter-Arutunian’s magical sets. Based on the Alexandre Dumas père version of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s tale The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (1816), George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker is one of the most complex ballets in the Company’s active repertory and provides an unforgettable spark to the holiday season.
