Last year was the first time since 1974 that Seattle didn't have a live performance of The Nutcracker ballet. The Pacific Northwest Ballet is back at it this year, with some pandemic-induced changes. Producer Clare McGrane takes us behind the scenes for a look at how the dancers are approaching the holiday classic differently.
