Tchaikovsky’s beloved melodies transport the young and the young at heart to the magical world where mischievous mice besiege a battalion of toy soldiers, and an onstage blizzard leads to an enchanted Land of Sweets.
George Balanchine’s “The Nutcracker,” based on the Alexandre Dumas version of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s tale,“The Nutcracker and the Mouse King,” (1816) is one of the most complex theatrical staged ballets in the New York City Ballet’s repertory. The film runs for 100 minutes and is geared to adults and youth ages eight and older.
