Step into a world of holiday magic as Charlottesville Ballet returns to Lynchburg with The Nutcracker— a holiday tradition favorite, presented by Blue Ridge Bank!
This 90-minute holiday classic brings together professional dancers and over 150 performers from across Central Virginia in a whimsical journey through swirling snowflakes, dancing treats, and the sparkling Land of Sweets — all led by Clara and the Nutcracker. Performances feature live orchestral accompaniment by members of Charlottesville Symphony and chorus by Cantate Children’s & Youth Choir, adding an unforgettable musical layer to the magic.
Class with Clara
Let your child step into the spotlight with Class with Clara — a magical on-stage experience where children ages 3–10 join Clara and her friends for a delightful ballet class after the performance! Participants will learn introductory ballet steps, meet the characters, and take home a special Nutcracker souvenir, sponsored by Paisley Gifts and Stationery — plus memories to last a lifetime. An adaptive version of Class with Clara will follow the sensory-friendly Nutcracker Sweets show.
