Dayton Ohio - Dayton Ballet’s The Nutcracker

A Holiday Tradition: Dayton Ballet's beloved The Nutcracker

The Dayton Ballet & The Dayton Philharmonic invites you to Dayton's biggest and best holiday performance arts tradition . . . Dayton Ballet's beloved The Nutcracker. 

Join little Clara as she drifts into restless slumber amidst tiny tin soldiers and menacing rodents, floats dreamily among the snowflakes, and is escorted to the Land of Sweets, where she meets the sparkling Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier.

The cast of Dayton Ballet’s The Nutcracker includes the full professional Dayton Ballet company, dancers from Dayton Ballet II and the Dayton Ballet School, and children from the Dayton area, all of whom have the pleasure of dancing to live music performed by the Dayton Philharmonic.

With performances so close to the Christmas holiday, The Nutcracker is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the holiday season with family and guests!
