The Nutcracker Performances

The Nutcracker
Step into a world where dreams twinkle like snowflakes and holiday magic shimmers in every note. From the moment you enter the festively adorned Carolina Theatre, the enchantment of Greensboro Ballet's The Nutcracker begins. This beloved holiday tradition returns with grandeur, inviting audiences of all ages to journey with Clara, a young girl whose Christmas Eve transforms into an unforgettable adventure.
Guided by her mysterious and kind-hearted Uncle Drosselmeyer, Clara’s imagination comes to life in a breathtaking battle between valiant toy soldiers and mischievous giant mice. As snow begins to fall, she is swept into a dazzling forest of ethereal snowflakes, and then beyond, into the radiant Kingdom of the Sweets—where the shimmering Sugar Plum Fairy and an array of magical characters welcome her with dances as sweet and sparkling as the season itself.
Adding to the wonder, we are proud to present the return of our Nutcracker Orchestra, performing Tchaikovsky’s iconic score live for every performance. Composed of gifted local musicians, the orchestra fills the theatre with the rich, nostalgic beauty that has made The Nutcracker a cherished holiday tradition for generations.
Join us for an evening/afternoon of elegance, awe, and timeless storytelling—where childhood dreams take center stage and the magic of the season comes alive.
Enjoy this magical holiday tradition as Greensboro Ballet presents
