Featuring glorious scenery and costumes by Tony Award-winning designer Desmond Heeley, Ben Stevenson's breathtaking production of The Nutcracker is, in the words of The Houston Chronicle, "the crown jewel of holiday entertainment." Set in nineteenth century Germany, the ballet opens at a charming Christmas party at which the mysterious Dr. Drosselmeyer gives his little niece Clara a magical toy that takes her on an unforgettable journey. From the Christmas tree that grows to a towering forty feet in the first act to the cooks who fly magically through the air in the second act, The Nutcracker is sure to enchant audiences of all ages.

  • I really want to go see the Nutcracker Houston Ballet since I'm from Houston. It's pretty ridiculous that I have never been to it. When I was little my parents couldn't afford it because of all my siblings, and now that I'm older I'm alwas working, and had no time. But now that I took some time off from work, I have no money saved to go see it. Every time I ask my boyfriend, he's not really interested in going. I feel like I'm never gonna go. This clip was beautiful!
