Ballet Chicago’s 30th Anniversary: The Nutcracker

Ballet Chicago presents The Nutcracker as part of our 30th anniversary! Tickets are now on sale to both engagements of Ballet Chicago’s The Nutcracker at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance and the Athenaeum Center for Thought and Culture.

Through its inspiring story, beautiful music and charming choreography, The Nutcracker is a celebration of the joyous holiday season. The Nutcracker takes us on an unforgettable journey with young Marie as she travels from her home on Christmas Eve to the Kingdom of Snow and the Land of the Sweets, featuring George Balanchine’s Sugar Plum Fairy Pas de Deux.

For adults, its a time to relive cherished memories of childhood. For children who wait with breathless anticipation for the holidays to arrive, it is the opportunity to create new memories. For everyone, it is a time for sharing and giving among family and friends. Prices range from $20-76
