Emerson Salon – Capitol Hill Seattle

The holiday season just isn’t the same without all the trappings of Christmas, such as pop-rock holiday music, mad rushes at the mall, and gingerbread lattes, but one absolute must every holiday season is the annual showing of the Nutcracker by the Pacific Northwest Ballet. This production of Hoffman’s classic tale includes some impressive dancing, massive sets, and one giant mouse king. Easily PNB’s most iconic performance, if there is one ballet you attend, this is the one you should see.

The Nutcracker’s season began on Nov 27th and will run through December 30th. If you are looking for something a little different, the Dec 30th performance is what they call the “Nutty Nutcracker” performance where the cast gets to let off a little steam and have fun with there own version of the tale. Tickets and more info is available on the PNB website.
