This year’s Battle of the Nutcrackers features four unique and celebrated versions: The Nutcracker (Youri Vámos; 2009), Royal Opera House’s The Nutcracker (2012), Bolshoi Ballet: The Nutcracker, and The Nutcracker: Mariinsky 2012.

Since Tchaikovsky created The Nutcracker almost 125 years ago, it’s become a worldwide sensation. Battle of the nutcrackers is Ovation’s holiday present to the families of America, a playful twist on the holiday tradition. Now in its eighth year.
