Philadelphia Ballet’s George Balanchine Nutcracker at The Kennedy Center by Sylvana Christopher

Nothing quite captures the holiday spirit like The Nutcracker, and the Philadelphia Ballet’s Balanchine Nutcracker directed by Angel Corella at The Kennedy Center is a must-see. Conducted by Beatrice Jona Affron, The Kennedy Center Orchestra and Arlington Children's Chorus provide a stunning accompaniment to the ballet. The flawless ensemble production stars Dayesi Torriente as Sugar Plum, Arian Molina Soca as Cavalier, and Sydney Dolan as Dewdrop.
