See the magical holiday tale come alive!

Boulder Ballet and Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra present The Nutcracker, with impressive choreography, stunning sets and costumes, and a full live orchestra bringing a host of fantastic characters to life.

Experience Clara's journey through the vision of Artistic Director Ana Claire, and Associate Artistic Director Lance Hardin, complemented by live music from the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Principal Guest Conductor Gary Lewis. The Nutcracker is the perfect festive celebration for the whole family.

In addition to our professional company of nine dancers and four apprentices, the ballet also welcomes over 70 Boulder Ballet student performers to the production. The Nutcracker will also feature special guest performers Peter Davison (Former Boulder Ballet Co-Artistic Director) as Drosselmeyer, and Claire Davison from American Ballet Theatre as Snow Queen.
