The Magic of The Nutcracker

Experience the extraordinary

The Nutcracker is back beginning December 10. Join us to meet our Nutcracker Mascot, listen to local choirs enchant you as you enter the historic Ohio Theatre, take part in holiday activites and, of course, see our world-class dancers take the stage to bring your favorite holiday tradition to life as you enter the Land of the Sweets.

This year’s production of The Nutcracker features over 20 performances from you to choose from, including 2 performances of our sensory-friendly variation My First Nutcracker.

Nothing compares to the magic of a live BalletMet performance.

The dimming of the lights, the opening of the curtain, the hush of the audience—these are the moments that make way for an extraordinary performance experience. And whether you’re a ballet first-timer or a seasoned theater-goer, we want you to feel comfortable and excited about the show you’re planning to attend. Here, you’ll find information on all of our upcoming performances, instructions on purchasing tickets and answers to some of your most frequently asked questions. We can’t wait to see you at the theater!
