George Balanchine's The Nutcracker Info

Koch Theater), this full-length production set to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's score became a benchmark of neoclassical ballet. Known for its large company cast, onstage Christmas tree, Karinska costumes, Rouben Ter-Arutunian sets, and elaborate lighting, Balanchine's Nutcracker remains a staple of holiday performance repertory.
