Performer: Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra

Four works – one new, two older and a PNB premiere – display the company in all its imaginative versatility and fine technique.

Sumptuous costumes, brilliant colors, excellent dancers create a glorious show which is unfortunately too long for the material. 

Great story, colorful costumes and sets, dozens of performers all add up to the annual extravaganza of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker. Pacific Northwest Ballet's superb artists portray its wonders again.
