    Music by Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky, featuring the Pennsylvania Ballet Orchestra and the Philadelphia Boys Choir

    You're invited to be enchanted by the Philadelphia region's most beloved holiday tradition, George Balanchine's The Nutcracker™. For 43 years, families have created yuletide memories with Pennsylvania Ballet's production of this classic tale. The simple story of a girl, a gift, and a fanciful dream is made magical by opulent sets and costumes by Peter Horne and Judanna Lynn and the impassioned artistry of Pennsylvania Ballet dancers. The renowned Philadelphia Boys Choir raises their voices with the magnificent Pennsylvania Ballet Orchestra to bring Tschaikovsky's unforgettable score to life.
