The Nutcracker has always been a Christmas staple, and this year, the Baltic Sea Philharmonic has reimagined Tchaikovsky’s much-loved musical suite with founder-conductor Kristjan Järvi. Interlacing Tchaikovsky’s classic score with additional music by Grieg, Elgar, Arvo Pärt, and Järvi himself, the inclusions nevertheless slot in with the original to cohesively create a tale of a wonderland. The Baltic Sea Philharmonic is also known for improvising and reorchestrating on the fly, so that’s something to look out for! Tickets run from $280 to $680.
