There's an ageless appeal to The Nutcracker, and Atlanta Ballet's rendition of the winter classic does not disappoint. Set to Tchaikovsky's magical music, as performed live by the Atlanta Ballet Orchestra, the ballet centers around a little girl named Clara who is gifted a nutcracker at her family's Christmas party by her mysterious Godfather Drosselmeyer. Clara embarks on an enticing adventure featuring sword-fighting giant mice, dancing sugar plum fairies, a land filled with candies and a dashing nutcracker prince. Dazzling choreography and set design elevate this wintry classic, lending it a timeless appeal and making it a fitting choice for families and couples, alike.
