Perfect for all ages, this production returns to the NAC by popular demand!

Extravagant bejewelled sets and one-of-a-kind costumes, created by Emmy Award winner Zack Brown, give the ballet the look of a gorgeously illustrated children’s book. Prepare to be transported to 19th century Russia with the captivating magic of this beloved holiday classic.
