About the show
The timeless classic, originally choreographed by Artistic Director Emeritus Paul Vasterling, weaves some of Nashville’s rich history, sites and events throughout the Christmas classic. Set against the backdrop of the vibrant city, this performance invites audiences of all ages to revel in the splendor of the Sugar Plum Fairy’s kingdom, the fierceness of the Mouse King and the timeless adventure of Clara and her Nutcracker Prince.
With live music by The Nashville Symphony, performances include Nashville Ballet company dancers, Nashville Ballet’s Second Company NB2 and a cast of youth students from School of Nashville Ballet and the community.
“We are proud to continue one of Nashville’s most cherished productions this holiday season,” said Nashville Ballet’s Artistic Director and CEO Nick Mullikin. “This dynamic performance of dance will feature our company dancers, along with students from School of Nashville Ballet, that will surely dazzle audiences this Christmas.”
Single tickets start at just $45 here.
