The Springfield Ballet Company proudly presents its 41st annual production of  The Nutcracker.

The Nutcracker is a timeless holiday classic that follows Clara and her Nutcracker from a lavish Christmas party to a fierce battle with the evil Mouse King, then to a magical journey through the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets. The production features a cast of 137, including our Company dancers, local adult actors, young dancers from the community and professional guest artists.
