The Nutcracker

Choreography Vera Altunina, based on the original production by Lev Ivanov and Marius Petipa. Music P. I. Tchaikovsky.

IBT's Nutcracker is rooted in the original 1892 production, staged with vibrant costumes, full theatrical scenery and the classical structure that has made the ballet a holiday tradition for generations. This December also marks the return of internationally acclaimed ballerina Ana Sophia Scheller to the IBT stage.

Preserving authentic classical repertoire is one of the company's defining missions: not something frozen in the past, but an art form passed from one generation to the next. Professional artists and developing dancers from the International Ballet Academy share the same stage, so the line from training to performance is visible to every audience.

For one family it is a performance they return to every December. For another it will be a child's first ballet.

Each performance listed above has its own ticket link, sold through IBT's official box office. Prices include all fees, and every person attending needs a ticket, babies included. The Meydenbauer Theatre box office opens one hour before each performance. Prices, refunds, accessible seating and group rates are on the box office page.
