Festival Ballet Virginia presents
The
Nutcracker
A holiday tradition.
A world of wonder.
The story
From a mysterious gift
to the Land of Sweets.
Join Clara on a holiday adventure filled with a daring battle, swirling snowflakes, and a journey to the Land of Sweets. Tchaikovsky’s music carries the story through to the Sugar Plum Fairy’s grand finale.
Festival Ballet Virginia brings this family classic to the stage with glittering costumes and expressive dancing. Celebrate the season with a ballet tradition in Northern Virginia, presented by our Reston-based company.
