Magic, Mischief, and Holiday Charm Await at Symphony Hall Dec. 12-27

PHOENIX – Celebrate the holiday season with the cherished tradition of “The Nutcracker,” performed by Ballet Arizona and choreographed by Artistic Director Emeritus Ib Andersen. Running Dec. 12 through 27 at Symphony Hall (75 N. 2nd St.) in Downtown Phoenix, this magical production offers 15 afternoon and evening performances, each accompanied by live music from The Phoenix Symphony. A beloved family experience, “The Nutcracker” has sold out three consecutive years and promises to enchant audiences once again.

In honor of the 19th century tradition, “The Nutcracker” tells a mystical and enchanting tale of a young girl, Clara, who receives a wooden nutcracker on Christmas Eve. In the midst of the holiday season, Clara finds herself in a battle between the Nutcracker Prince and a frightful Mouse King. Along with the Nutcracker Prince, Clara embarks on a wondrous journey through the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets to meet the magical Snow Queen and her snowflake dancers. Audiences of every age will immerse themselves in this enchanting landscape with many special effects to bring this one-of-a-kind live experience to life.
