Audiences step into a winter wonderland where falling snowflakes, twirling flowers, and radiant spinning stars come to life on stage. This production blends sweeping classical choreography and gentle humor with richly detailed theatrical, lighting, and video design. The classic ballet is accompanied by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's score performed live by the Atlanta Ballet Orchestra.
