The Nutcracker

BE THRILLED by signature touches that make Ben Stevenson’s lavish setting of The Nutcracker the best way to ring in the holiday season.

BE ENCHANTED as a Christmas tree grows to a towering forty feet and sparkling, swirling snowflakes fall on dancers and audience alike. Designer Campbell Baird’s stunning sets and opulent costumes transport children of all ages to Clara’s magical world of battling rats, dancing sweets and waltzing flowers.

BE CAPTIVATED as the Sugar Plum Fairy leads Clara and her prince through an evening filled with delightful classical ballet. Watch as Madame Bonbonaire lifts her skirt to reveal dozens of tiny dancing clowns!

Crown your family’s holiday season with this charming tradition. Join Texas Ballet Theater for The Nutcracker – where beautiful ballet inspires memories that last a lifetime.

 “A … swooping Nutcracker reminded us that Texas Ballet Theater not only has a lock on merriment, but a sure touch on graceful dancing as well.”
