The Nutcracker at Warner Theatre

The Washington Ballet's D.C.-based production of The Nutcracker offers a distinctly American interpretation of the holiday classic, weaving together local landmarks, historical references, and seasonal tradition. Choreographed by Septime Webre to music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the production commemorates the nation's 250th anniversary. Featuring performers from both the professional company and The Washington School of Ballet, it remains a cherished holiday tradition in the nation's capital.
