Ballet Theatre of Maryland presents “The Nutcracker”
Discover the wonder of this timeless holiday tradition and allow yourself to be magically swept away by the tale of the young heroine Clara and her adventures to rescue her beloved Nutcracker from the Rat Queen’s evil spell. Travel with Clara through the whirling Kingdoms of Snow and Sweets to the place where the possibility of dreams, the magic of Christmas, and the wonder of the child merge to reveal her destiny. Experience the power and beauty anew as the mysterious Drosselmeier transports you and Clara back in time to capture the spirit of the holiday season through the language of dance and theatre. Take pictures with your favorite characters and enjoy light refreshments one hour before each Sunday performance at our Sugar Plum Party! Purchase your ticket as an add-on for Sunday performances.
