At New York City Ballet's annual production of 'The Nutcracker,' two young dancers from the School of American Ballet are making their debut as Fritz and Brat Winter, the mischievous little brothers of the story. This marks a significant opportunity for the boys, who have been training at the school for several years.

The production, which is a beloved holiday tradition in New York City, features a large cast of dancers, including the iconic Sugar Plum Fairy and the Nutcracker Prince. The ballet is set to the iconic score by Tchaikovsky and is known for its stunning costumes, sets, and choreography.

The Fritz and Brat Winter roles are particularly significant, as they require a high level of energy and athleticism. The boys must dance with precision and speed, navigating the intricate choreography with ease. The roles are also a great opportunity for the dancers to showcase their skills and gain valuable experience.

The New York City Ballet's production of 'The Nutcracker' is a must-see event for dance fans and families alike. With its beautiful music, stunning costumes, and talented cast of dancers, it is a holiday tradition that is not to be missed.

The production runs from November 27 to December 31 at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center. Tickets are available online or at the theater box office.
