Simply the most famous and extravagant ballet adventure in the world, Cincinnati celebrates the annual return of this holiday tradition filled with dancing snowflakes, waltzing flowers, belligerent mice, brave toy soldiers and an unlikely romance between Marie and her cherished Nutcracker doll.  With choreography from Val Caniparoli, magical sets by designer Alain Vaes, and Tchaikovsky's colorful and brilliant score, performed by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra under Music Director Carmon DeLeone's baton, Frisch's Presents The Nutcracker remains for 36 years the only full-scale dance event of it's kind in the region.
