This December, journey into a world of sugar-spun dreams and enchantment with Charlottesville Ballet’s The Nutcracker—a dazzling 90-minute production that blends holiday tradition with sparkling new magic, presented by Blue Ridge Bank.
Follow young Clara as the Nutcracker leads her through an epic battle with the Mouse King and into the swirling Land of Snowflakes inspired by Massanutten Resort and the radiant Land of Sweets. From leaping candy canes to graceful flowers and the iconic Sugar Plum Fairy, each scene sparkles with wonder and delight.
After select performances, don’t miss our beloved “Class with Clara” event—a magical opportunity for children ages 3-10 to step on stage, take a mini ballet class, meet the characters, and pose for photos with Clara and her friends.
