Pacific Northwest Ballet's holiday production of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker runs at McCaw Hall from November 27 to December 27, 2026, with Tchaikovsky's score played by the PNB Orchestra and sets and costumes designed by Ian Falconer, the author-illustrator of the Olivia picture books. The performance runs 2 hours 3 minutes including a 25-minute intermission, a manageable length for many school-age children. PNB offers a Relaxed Performance on December 11 at 2:00 pm, with lighting and sound modifications and entry/exit privileges for people with sensory processing differences, and audio-described performances (Dec 4 at 7:30 pm; Dec 5, 11 and 12 at 2:00 pm) at a $20 subsidized rate for patrons using a listening device plus one companion. Tickets, Nutcracker parking and add-ons are sold through order.pnb.org; the page refers to standard and child rates but does not print them.
