Sugarplum Fairy

Music The Nutcracker (1892 by Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky

Choreography by George Balanchine (1954)

Each winter kicks off the holiday season along with the annual production of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker. This is a ballet that brings together all who make ballet possible at Boston Ballet. It involves not just the cast in its entirety, but the dancers have an opportunity to work with scores of young students from ballet schools in the Boston area.

This glittering production of The Nutcracker is beloved by the public and is, for many, a staple of the holiday season.
