Orlando Ballet - The Nutcracker

Orlando Ballet presents their annual production of The Nutcracker. This classic holiday ballet, set to Tchaikovsky's score, features the company's dancers in the traditional story of Clara, the Nutcracker Prince, and the Sugar Plum Fairy. It's a familiar narrative, often a first introduction to ballet for many. This matinee performance on Thursday, December 24, 2026, takes place at Steinmetz Hall at Dr Phillips Center in Orlando. The venue offers a comfortable setting for a full-length ballet. It's a show that generally appeals to families and those looking for a traditional seasonal outing.
