New Mexico Ballet Company and the New Mexico Philharmonic join forces for 2024's edition of Tchaikovsky's must-see holiday classic, beginning Thanksgiving weekend! The story of The Nutcracker was originally written by E.T.A. Hoffmann, with Tchaikovsky's masterpiece score accompanying the world-famous ballet receiving its debut over 130 years ago, in 1892. An evening spent at a performance of this enchanting show is the perfect way to welcome in Christmas with the whole family!
