Families have cherished the holiday tradition of The Nutcracker for generations, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of our beloved production. Set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, the story begins on Christmas Eve, when the mysterious Herr Drosselmeyer presents his young goddaughter Clara with a magical nutcracker doll. With Clara's help, the Nutcracker comes to life and defeats the evil Mouse King, transforming into a prince. Together, they journey through a snow-covered forest to the enchanting Land of Sweets, where they are welcomed by the Sugar Plum Fairy and dazzled by dances from around the world.   

Celebrate this milestone performance as Flint School of Performing Arts ballet dancers take the stage with the Flint Symphony Orchestra and a cast of guest performers from professional dance companies. Audiences of all ages will be transported to a world of unforgettable holiday enchantment – 50 years in the making.
