The growing Christmas tree. The dancing snowflakes. The Sugar Plum Fairy. For those who can’t live without an annual in-person fix of The Nutcracker, the Royal Ballet presents Peter Wright’s production of 1984, with a recently re-choreographed battle scene between the mice and the toy soldiers, and beautiful period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman. Expect classical dancing of poise, nuance, and loving attention to detail. That’s the Royal Ballet way. —Laura Jacobs
