An enchanted wonderland where toys come to life, children shrink, and dreams of flying become a reality. The Nutcracker is an annual tradition across the country and few do it better justice than Carolina Ballet, which has gained a formidable reputation under the direction of Robert Weiss, a former student of the legendary George Balanchine. It's the perfect Christmas treat for all the family!

George Balanchine's gorgeous choreography to Ravel's fiery show-stopper lights up the Carolina Ballet in an evening that is sure to excite and amaze all ballet lovers. Despite being conceived as a ballet, Ravel's radiant work is now mostly performed as a concert, so take this opportunity to see the classic in its intended form.
