Step into a world of wonder this holiday season with Metropolitan Youth Ballet’s enchanting production of The Nutcracker! Follow young Clara and her Nutcracker Prince on a magical Christmas Eve adventure — from a festive family celebration at the Stahlbaum home to a thrilling midnight battle with the Mouse Queen and her mischievous mice. Journey through the sparkling Kingdom of Snow and arrive in the deliciously whimsical Land of Sweets, where dazzling dances from around the world await.

This timeless holiday tradition features all your favorite characters — the mysterious Drosselmeyer, the elegant Snow Queen, Mother Ginger and her playful Gingersnaps, and of course, the radiant Sugar Plum Fairy and her noble Cavalier.
