The passion of the holiday classic The Nutcracker returns to Madison! In the return of Sara Stewart Schumann’s production, audiences will join Clara on a night of adventure as she is transported from her home to The Lands of Sweets. This magical wonderland where flowers waltz, snowflakes twirl, and enchanted lands come to life, is underscored by Tchaikovsky’s mesmerizing music, played by the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra. This timeless production will delight all families and friends.
