When unprecedented restrictions cancel Lincoln Center’s 2020 Nutcracker for the first time since 1964, a group of New York City Ballet dancers find refuge at a fairy-tale Hudson Valley estate.
There, choreographer Troy Schumacher imagines an immersive, mostly outdoor production that brings audiences directly into the ballet’s famous party scene.
As the team faces daunting challenges, they channel the spirit of Tchaikovsky’s score into a rare spark of wonder during a dark winter. The Nutcracker at Wethersfield follows their creative journey, celebrating resilience, community, and the enduring magic of art and the holidays.
