Ballet Austin: THE NUTCRACKER

A Holiday Must-See!

As always, the two companies will dance to Tchaikovsky's score as performed by the Austin Symphony Orchestra.
What is The Nutcracker About?

We open on Christmas Eve, in the Stahlbaum house. There's music and presents and food, and the three Stahlbaum children are beside themselves with joy at the wonder of it all. There's danger on the horizon though, heralded by the arrival at the door of local magician Drosselmeyer. He brings bearing gifts for the children, including a wooden nutcracker. This is just the start of an adventure which will lead our characters into a war between mice and gingerbread men and through the Land of Sweets.
