The Nutcracker December 2, 2005

Washington's new tradition, Septime Webre's Nutcracker is steeped in freshness and paced for non-stop entertainment. The Washington Post lauds "The Washington Ballet has turned The Nutcracker into an A-list party on the Potomac."

Seasoned with touches of DC and Americana, audiences rave about the crisp marching soldiers, sultry Anacostian Indian duet, bursting Cherry Blossoms and tiny skittering mice. Featuring a live orchestra, this Nutcracker is a holiday feast all its own with opulent scenery, magnificent costumes and gorgeous dancing.
