It’s not the holidays without The Nutcracker! This signature show marks the pinnacle of The Washington Ballet’s 2019 season, and brings together the dazzling holiday sets, classic score, and timeless story that makes it a seasonal classic. Set in historic 1882 Georgetown, The Nutcracker follows Clara through a magical world of Sugar Plus Fairies, toy soldiers, and dancing snowflakes. Even if you aren’t a ballet aficionado, it’s hard not to be swept away by the impressive technique of The Washington Ballet, not to mention the much-loved Tchaikovsky score that is practically the soundtrack for the holiday season. 

Catch The Nutcracker on stage at the Warner Theatre from November 30 through December 29. A variety of afternoon and evening performances are available, and tickets make the perfect holiday gift.
