Ballet San Antonio Presents: The Nutcracker

A Colorful nutcracker dressed with pink, purple, and blue decorations, surrounded by confetti on a pink background, with a blurred ballerina in the background.

Celebrate the magic of the holidays with Ballet San Antonio’s beloved production of The Nutcracker! When young Clara receives a Nutcracker doll from her mysterious Godfather, Drosselmeyer, she’s swept into a dreamlike adventure of battling mice, led by the fierce Mouse Queen, and a journey through the sparkling Lands of Snow and Sweets.

Choreographed by Haley and Easton Smith, this dazzling performance features Children’s Cast of talented children from across San Antonio, live music by The Orchestra San Antonio, and special guest appearances in the role of Mother Ginger.

With Tchaikovsky’s iconic score and breathtaking choreography, The Nutcracker is the perfect holiday tradition for the whole family.
