Boston Ballet - The Nutcracker

Boston Ballet presents The Nutcracker, their annual staging of the holiday classic. This is a chance to see the full company perform one of the most recognizable ballets, known for its Tchaikovsky score, elaborate sets, and festive atmosphere. It’s a foundational piece for many ballet companies, and Boston Ballet’s production is a consistent draw each year. The performance is on Saturday, December 26, 2026, at the Citizens Bank Opera House in Boston. This is a matinee showing in a grand theater setting, suitable for families or anyone looking for a traditional holiday performance. The Opera House provides a classic backdrop for a production of this scale.
