A holiday tradition endures
If it's December, then countless ballet companies must be performing 'The Nutcracker.' The ballet has become an iconic holiday entertainment staple, produced around the world. This photo captures a scene from the 2016 production by the English National Ballet at the London Coliseum. The company has been performing 'The Nutcracker' there for 20 years. And despite the pandemic, they'll be back at the Coliseum again this year, leaping and twirling to the 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,' but in an abbreviated program before a reduced, physically distanced crowd.
