The Nostalgia of a Seasonal Classic...

...is an essential ingredient of Holiday Spirit. Don't you think?

So 'natch, the daughter of a ballet teacher turns to The Nutcracker during the Holidays. Holla if you were a waltzing Flower as a child! ;)

Ballanchine...got creative, took liberties, however you see it, but this is nevertheless a beautiful and accessible presentation of The Nutcracker.


I can't believe it was so long ago, but checking with the Kennedy Center shows that the Kirov Nutcracker we saw with the (awesome) scary black snowflakes was back in 2003!


(If you were good, you got to be a snowflake.)


ps - yes, that is Macaulay Culkin!
