Celebrate America’s favorite Christmas tradition with an international all-star cast that blends world-class ballet with whimsical puppets, lavish costumes, and stunning acrobatics. 

In the “Land of Peace and Harmony” in Act II, which replaces the traditional “Land of Sweets”, Clara and her Nutcracker Prince encounter symbols of each culture in the form of larger-than-life, 10-foot-tall puppets including Wisdom from the Persian Elephant, Strength from the Slavic Bear, Courage from the Spanish Bull, Honesty from the French Unicorn, and Resilience from the Chinese Firebird.

This is a family-friendly show and all ages are welcome.
