The plan
See a distinctly Washington take on the holiday ballet, with local history woven into Clara’s dream.
The experience
The Washington Ballet’s Nutcracker sets its holiday story in Georgetown in 1882, with George Washington as the Nutcracker. The local setting gives a familiar ballet a different point of view, making it a fitting pick for a holiday outing in the capital.
