Enchanting generations of wide-eyed children and adults alike, New York City Ballets dazzling production of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker plays to sold-out houses each holiday season in New York. Now cinema audiences will have the opportunity to enjoy this timeless tale when it is screened in Bíó Paradís on November 25th and 26th and on December 2nd and December 3rd as part of the Lincoln Center at the Movies: Great American Dance series.

Tchaikovskys beloved melodies transport the young and young at heart to a magical world where mischievous mice besiege a battalion of toy soldiers, and an onstage blizzard leads to an enchanted Land of Sweets. New York City Ballets famously extravagant staging features Balanchines stunning choreography amidst awe-inspiring set pieces, ornate costumes and grand one-of-a-kind visual effects, like the one-tonne Christmas tree that grows to an astonishing 12 metres.
