For your family’s ultimate holiday treat, Nashville Ballet is presenting a spectacular all-new production of Nutcracker. This charming ballet embraces all of the time-honored traditions of this story while placing them in the 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition. This is truly Nashville’s Nutcracker with the addition of historical landmarks, famous families of that era, dazzling costumes, shiny new sets and scenery, and over 200 children from the Nashville area community will be cast in imaginative new roles. The Nashville Symphony will be there to perform the glorious Tchaikovsky score. Special pre-show activities will include a festive Victorian Winter Carnival outside the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. Opening night attendees will also have the opportunity to attend a pre-performance gala dinner at The Hermitage Hotel.
