Miami City Ballet: The Nutcracker

GEORGE BALANCHINE’S THE NUTCRACKER®
(Balanchine/Tchaikovsky)

Miami City Ballet’s unique production of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker® is the most “magnificent, dazzling” way to celebrate the festive season with your loved ones (Broadway World).

At a cozy Christmas Eve party, a brave little girl called Marie receives a mysterious gift. When the clock strikes 12, a magic spell awakens and we follow Marie into a dream inhabited by toy soldiers and a defiant Mouse King. With the dashing Nutcracker as our guide, discover a sparkling forest of dancing Snowflakes and befriend the Sugarplum Fairy, whimsical waltzing flowers and a host of colorful characters in the Land of Sweets.

As a live orchestra plays Tchaikovsky’s iconic melodies, more than 100 dancers bring this fantastical story to life, surrounded by sherbet-hued designs by Cuban-American artists Ruben and Isabel Toledo and breathtaking stage effects by Wendall K. Harrington.

Rediscover the joys of this delightful tradition and let this “endlessly fanciful and colorful” adventure ignite your imagination (The Wall Street Journal).
