New York City Ballet canceled its performances of “George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker” through Dec.
As the production, one of City Ballet’s most popular, was called off at Lincoln Center, plans to fill Carnegie Hall on Tuesday evening with the “Hallelujah” chorus were canceled when Musica Sacra postponed a performance of Handel’s “Messiah,” citing the virus.
The company has worked hard to bring back the holiday favorite under difficult circumstances.
The company said that tickets could be refunded, exchanged for a future performance, or donated to the company.
All remaining performances of “A Christmas Carol” at the Center Theater Group in Los Angeles were canceled Tuesday, while in Chicago, the Goodman Theater suspended in-person performances of “A Christmas Carol” through Dec.
