    From November 25 – December 27, 2011, Houston Ballet will bring Texas its most joyous holiday gift, Ben Stevenson’s breathtaking production of The Nutcracker, seen by over 1,000,000 people since its premiere 24 years ago. Houston Ballet will give 33 performances of The Nutcracker, to a live orchestra, in the Brown Theater at Wortham Theater Center in downtown Houston.

    The beloved ballet tells the story of a little girl named Clara who is given a magical nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve. She encounters the frightful King Rat before embarking on a wondrous journey through the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets. Young and old alike will experience the many special effects, including the Christmas tree which “grows” to 40 feet, 200 pounds of “snow” falling during the snow scene, and the firing of a cannon onstage.

    Oh, the wonder of it all. Living dolls. Dancing snowflakes. It's The Nutcracker, in all its magical, colorful, holiday charm. With music by Tchaikovsky and stunning sets by Desmond Heeley, Ben Stevenson's production has something to delight every member of the family.  The Nutcracker is sure to enchant audiences of all ages.

    It just wouldn't be the holidays without The Nutcracker.
