The Nutcracker

The most familiar of beloved holiday traditions is transformed into a wondrous dreamscape in Michael Pink’s The Nutcracker: Drosselmeyer’s Imaginarium. The Tannenbaum children are led on a magical adventure where reality and imagination blur together.

Milwaukee Ballet Company is joined by students from Milwaukee Ballet School & Academy in the annual holiday spectacular. Select performances will feature live music by Milwaukee Ballet Orchestra.
