The Kuhner Report · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. WETA's NSO schedule lists 'The Nutcracker and Cinderella' on November 20 at Schlesinger Hall, with Marie Jacquot conducting Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev suites and Jorge Federico Osorio in Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21.[2]
Supports. Ticket listings published October 30 show the National Symphony Orchestra's 'The Nutcracker & Cinderella' on Friday, Nov 20 at Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall in Alexandria, VA.[3][4]
Supports. The NSO's own schedule page, published October 30, lists 'The Nutcracker & Cinderella' on Fri. Nov. 20, 2026, with the Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev ballet suites and Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21.[5]
Contradicts. An OrchestraFinder listing (published October 10) places the Friday November 20 program at the Kennedy Center with time TBA, while a separate entry places a December 1 Nutcracker & Cinderella at Rachel Schlesinger Hall. This conflicts with the venue for November 20, though the listing predates the season announcement.[6]
Context. The AP reports that the NSO's 2026-27 season was split among six venues after the Kennedy Center shut, with nine concerts at Schlesinger Hall, but it does not name the November 20 concert.[1]
Context. The Washington Lobbyist reports that The Nutcracker and Cinderella run November 20 through 22 at regional venues, without naming a specific venue for November 20.[7]
