The Washington Ballet’s The Nutcracker 2026
About The Event
Watch the spirit of the holidays meet 250 years of American history at The Washington Ballet’s The Nutcracker 2026.
History and holiday tradition collide as George Washington and King George III settle their legendary score, reimagined as a spectacular battle between our heroic Nutcracker and a regal, becaped Rat King. From the soaring flight of the Bald Eagle to the delightful dancing dolls, Lady Liberty and John Paul Jones, gather at Warner Theatre for DC’s original celebration of our history, artistry, and home.
More than a holiday tradition, this is the city’s living scrapbook brought to life on stage.
