DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<i>The Nutcracker</i> has been with us for so long, it shares the same cultural airspace as <i>It’s a Wonderful Life</i> and <i>A Christmas Carol</i>. A source of nostalgia and parody both in and outside the ballet world, <i>The Nutcracker</i> has its charms, particularly the enduring Tchaikovsky score (performed live), the saber-rattling battle between toy soldiers and giant mice and the cast of colorful characters who whirl through the Land of Sweets. Oregon Ballet Theatre does the George Balanchine version of the piece, with all the formalism and sparkle that entails. <br>
