Greensboro Ballet: The Nutcracker December 9, 2:00 pm

From the moment you walk into the historic Carolina Theatre, festively decorated for the holidays, the magic begins. You're soon transported back in time to the home of young Clara celebrating the season with family and friends. After she receives a Nutcracker doll as a present from her Uncle Drosselmeyer, Clara will take you on a dreamy adventure with her through a battle between life-size mice and toy soldiers, then a sparkling land of swirling snowflakes, and finally, to an enchanting Land of the Dolls. The Sugar Plum Fairy and friends will entertain Clara and her Nutcracker Prince as the sumptuous Tchaikovsky score fills your ears with nostalgia and wonder.


Tickets are $45, $35, or $20, depending on location.
Ticket Commissions: A $5 processing fee and sales tax will be added to each ticket.
