Through its inspiring story, beautiful music, and charming choreography, “The Nutcracker” celebrates the joyous holiday season. Ballet Chicago’s “The Nutcracker” takes us on an unforgettable journey with young Marie as she travels from her home on Christmas Eve. She ventures to the Kingdom of Snow and the Land of the Sweets, featuring George Balanchine’s Sugar Plum Fairy Pas De Deux. It is a time to relive cherished memories of childhood. It is the opportunity to create new memories for children filled with anticipation for the holidays. And it is an experience for everyone to share with friends and family.
