Performance Information

*Featuring Las Vegas Philharmonic (opening weekend performances only)

Music by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Choreography by George Balanchine

Balanchine’s time-honored holiday classic returns after a magnificent debut with NBT in 2025. The generations-held holiday tradition returns with the gorgeous and sweeping precision of Balanchine’s brilliance against impressive scenic design, imaginative costumes and loads of holiday spirit. NBT presents George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker® featuring his renowned choreography and a mixed media production that elevates the storytelling.

Cherished characters including The Sugarplum Fairy, Dewdrop, Mother Ginger and her Polichinelles, and Divertissements like Coffee, Tea and Hot Chocolate, lead young Marie Stahlbaum and her Nutcracker Prince through The Land of the Sweets for a journey of pure imagination and childlike wonder. Tchaikovsky’s towering and timeless score highlights the on-stage magic.
