The Nutcracker
A holiday tradition for the whole family, The Nutcracker sweeps the Bolshoi stage for two hours of enchantment and magic.
On Christmas Eve, Marie’s wooden nutcracker doll magically comes to life and transforms into a prince. Soon joined by her other toys, Marie and her prince embark on a dreamy, unforgettable adventure. The Nutcracker invites audiences of all ages on a magical journey through a world of enchantment, complete with dancing snowflakes and dolls that have come to life, accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s beloved score. A timeless classic featuring some of the Bolshoi’s greatest artists, The Nutcracker remains a treasure not to be missed.
Please note: the UMS Ticket Office closes for the holiday on Friday, December 21 at 5 pm. Tickets are still available online, and we will be at the Michigan Theater beginning at 12:30 pm on Sunday, before this HD broadcast of the Bolshoi Ballet’s Nutcracker.
