The Nutcracker at The Lyric

With stunning costumes, stirring choreography and live music from the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, the Ballet Theatre of Maryland's annual production of The Nutcracker always brings the magic. This holiday favorite tells the story of a young girl named Clara who receives an enchanted nutcracker doll one Christmas Eve and sets out on a wondrous journey to the Land of the Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets. With sets that take advantage of its vast proscenium, the Lyric is the perfect place to experience this much-beloved ballet that always dazzles with its battling mice, dancing snowflakes, waltzing flowers and the delightful Sugar Plum Fairy. See it just two days before Christmas.
