“Visions of sugarplums” and so much more! In the magical land of Clara’s dreams, marzipan sheep graze, chocolate dances with a Spanish flair and tea takes the form of a Chinese dragon.  The young and young at heart will marvel as the Silberhaus family Christmas tree grows and the toys beneath it help Clara and her Nutcracker Prince battle the Mouse King.  After an entourage of graceful snowflakes escorts them to the Kingdom of Sweets, enjoy a banquet of dance to Tchaikovsky’s familiar score, performed live by the Richmond Symphony Orchestra.  Share The Nutcracker with the entire family and sweeten your dreams with Richmond’s favorite holiday tradition.  After the show, top it off with a treat-filled Sweets Party and meet the Sugarplum Fairy and her friends!

The Nutcracker is performed in the Landmark Theater.
