The Nutcracker has been a long standing tradition for Houston Ballet and has become such a beautiful holiday tradition for many families. Last weekend I had the honor and privilege to experience this Stanton Welch’s decadent version (inception 2016).
Personally I think it’s a must watch for all ages and folks. The performance will keep you in great spirits throughout. It tells a timeless story that delighted audiences for many years. The Nutcracker production will captivate you through a wide array of vibrant scenes, from an elegant party to a lively battle.
The performance is held at the iconic Wortham Center Downtown Houston from November 25, 2022 till December 27, 2022.
