The Nutcracker
Unwrap the Magic!
Terrence S. Orr’s beloved version of The Nutcracker returns for its final year at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, inviting Pittsburgh audiences to gather one last time around this treasured holiday tradition. The Nutcracker overflows with warmth, nostalgia and theatrical magic. As we prepare for an all-new production in 2027, this fond farewell honors a sparkling world that has lived in the city’s heart for more than twenty years.
Set in turn-of-the-century Pittsburgh, Orr’s The Nutcracker whisks audiences into an unforgettable adventure with Marie and the Nutcracker Prince as they journey through swirling snow and into the Land of Enchantment. There, they meet the Sugar Plum Fairy and hundreds of colorful characters, all brought to life with amazing dancing and the iconic Tchaikovsky score.
Concept & Choreography: Terrence S. Orr I Music: P.I. Tchaikovsky
