GEORGE BALANCHINE'S
THE NUTCRACKER
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky / George Balanchine

SYNOPSIS
See the only West Coast production of George Balanchine’s magical 1954 Nutcracker!

“Mr. B’s” captivating Christmas classic draws its inspiration from the choreographer’s childhood recollections of dancing the original version of the Nutcracker in Russia. Today, his enchanting vision of Marie and the Nutcracker Prince and their thrilling journey to the candy-coated realm of the Sugarplum Fairy is famous the world over and has been a New York City Christmas tradition for more than 50 years.

Make your own holiday memories this December. Come see our annual stockingful of whirling snowflakes, dancing candy canes and waltzing flowers. OBT’s full company of dancers and more than 100 students from our school provide the seasonal cheer.

NEW THIS YEAR:

• Three performances Christmas Weekend
• Holiday entertainment in the lobby and a visit from Santa at every performance!
