The Springfield Ballet Company proudly presents its 36th annual production of The Nutcracker.

Set to Tchaikovsky’s enchanting score, this timeless holiday classic follows Clara and her Prince from a lavish Christmas party to a fierce battle with the evil Mouse King to a magical journey through the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets. The production features a cast of 120, including local children and adults, company dancers and professional guest artists.

The Springfield Ballet Company was founded in 1975 as a merger between Copper Coin Ballet and Ballet Concert Group. Grace Luttrell Nanavati and Dorothy Irvine were co-directors of the SBC when it staged it's first production of The Nutcracker; and Julie Ratz, SBC Artistic Director, performed as a soldier in the 1975 production.
