A 48-hour rental costs $25 in theU.S., prices will vary internationally.
The performance was filmed at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts last December for an upcoming documentary that will stream on Disney+.
George Balanchine's "The Nutcracker" premiered in February 1954 and has been performed live by the New York City Ballet every year, except this year due to the pandemic.
