Marie Jacquot, conductor

Pyotr Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker – Suite
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major K 467
Sergei Prokofiev: Cinderella – Suite

Be moved by two of the season’s most treasured fairy tales, conducted by Marie Jacquot in her NSO debut. Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker Suite brings Clara, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and an enchanted Christmas Eve party to the concert stage, while the Suite from Prokofiev’s Cinderella reimagines the timeless story with playful melodies, mischief, and a touch of magic.

Between the ballets, Jorge Federico Osorio casts a different kind of spell in Mozart’s enormously popular Piano Concerto No. 21, famous for its haunting slow movement. Three iconic works, three worlds of magic—a perfect holiday concert for the whole family!
