Through its inspiring story, beautiful music, and charming choreography, Ballet Chicago‘s The Nutcracker celebrates the joyous holiday season. The Nutcracker takes us on an unforgettable journey with young Marie as she travels from her home on Christmas Eve. Marie and the Prince brave through battle with the Mouse King and go on a magical exploration through the dancing wonders of the Kingdom of Snow and the Land of the Sweets. As a highlight, Ballet Chicago’s production exclusively features George Balanchine’s stunning Sugar Plum Fairy Pas De Deux. It is an experience to revel in cherished memories of childhood and is an opportunity to create new memories with family in anticipation of the holidays.
