Sacramento Ballet - The Nutcracker

The Sacramento Ballet performs The Nutcracker, a holiday tradition for many. This production is known for its classical choreography and elaborate sets, bringing Tchaikovsky's score to life with a full company of dancers. It's a familiar story told through movement, often a first introduction to ballet for younger audiences. This performance takes place on Friday, December 18, 2026, at the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center in Sacramento. The venue is a modern theater setting, well-suited for a full-scale ballet. It's a show that appeals to families and those looking for a festive, theatrical experience during the holiday season.
