Ballet Rhode Island - The Nutcracker

Ballet Rhode Island presents The Nutcracker, their annual holiday production. This classic ballet, set to Tchaikovsky's score, features the company's dancers in the traditional tale of Clara and her enchanted nutcracker prince. It's a familiar narrative, often a first introduction to live ballet for many. This performance takes place on Sunday, December 20, 2026, at The Vets in Providence. The grand auditorium setting is suitable for this type of large-scale production, offering clear sightlines and an established atmosphere. It's a show that often appeals to families and those looking for a seasonal theatrical experience.
