Central Ohio’s most beloved holiday tradition since 1974 -- BalletMet’s The Nutcracker -- will be presented from Dec. 13 to 28 at the historic Ohio Theatre. Additionally, BalletMet has created a special one-hour version of The Nutcracker entitled “My First Nutcracker” for young children and kids and adults with sensory sensitivity. See our GIVEAWAY below for an opportunity to win tickets for opening night, December 13th!
The tale of the imaginative Clara, the nutcracker who turns into a prince, the Mouse King and the Sugarplum Fairy, features a large cast including BalletMet’s professional dancers from both its companies – BalletMet and BalletMet 2, along with 190 students – the largest class of students ever to perform in Nutcracker from the BalletMet Academy. Each performance will have more than 122 characters onstage - including academy students in the roles of pages, party children, mice, and soldiers performing alongside BalletMet’s renowned professionals.
More than 30,000 people came to see BalletMet’s Nutcracker in 2018.
