A Syracuse Holiday Tradition!

All of the fanciful favorites are back in Syracuse City Ballet's annual production of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. Whether you're a child or just young at heart Syracuse City Ballet's journey into Clara's winter wonderland is a new holiday tradition not to be missed!

What Is The Nutcracker About?

One snowy Christmas Eve, at a great townhouse where a party is in full swing, local magician Herr Drosselmeyer arrives with gifts for the children, including a wooden nutcracker for Clara, the oldest child. When the clock strikes twelve an adventure begins and the Nutcracker comes to life, leading our heroine Clara into a war between mice and tin soldiers, and into the enchanted Land of Sweets where a festival awaits them.
