A jewel of the holiday season and a treasured Greensboro tradition, The Nutcracker returns to sparkle as part of Greensboro Ballet’s 60th Anniversary Diamond Season.
Set to Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score, performed live by the Greensboro Ballet Orchestra, this dazzling production shines with festive elegance, from a joyful Christmas celebration and magical toys brought to life to a glittering snowfall and the radiant Kingdom of the Sweets.
Follow young Clara as an ordinary Christmas Eve transforms into an unforgettable adventure filled with wonder and imagination. After receiving a magical Nutcracker as a gift, she embarks on a journey where toy soldiers battle the Mouse King, snowflakes dance beneath a winter sky, and enchanting characters welcome her into a world where dreams come to life.

Featuring breathtaking dancing, lavish costumes, spectacular sets, and the rich sound of a live orchestra, The Nutcracker is a feast for the senses and a cherished holiday experience for audiences of all ages. Beloved characters including the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, the adorable Mice and Soldiers, the ethereal Waltz of the Flowers dancers, and the charming Clara herself, help to create a joyous celebration that has captivated generations of Triad audiences.
