Join Ballet Theatre of Carmel Academy’s pre-professional ballet company for this spectacular holiday tradition in the heart of downtown Zionsville!

Experience the magic of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker – the classic story of a girl and her beloved nutcracker doll that comes to life! You will be transported on an enchanted journey – from a joyous holiday party at The Stahlbaum’s, into an epic midnight battle between mice and toy soldiers, to the Kingdom of Snow, and finally through the Land of Sweets. Along the way you’ll meet iconic characters including Clara, the Nutcracker Prince, Godfather Drosselmeyer, the evil Mouse Queen, the beautiful Snow Queen, Mother Ginger and her Gingersnaps, and of course the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier!

From the spectacular costumes, to the stunning sets, to the timeless music, this Nutcracker experience will be one you won’t forget!

This is a family-friendly production with plenty of pre- and post-show activities to get everyone into the holiday spirit. Pick out a delicious treat at the Land of Sweets Bake Sale, and finish your Christmas shopping at the splendid Nutcracker Boutique! It’s filled with handmade and specially selected items like Nutcrackers of all shapes and sizes, hand-decorated pointe shoes, ballerina ornaments and more. Dancers will be available for a meet-and-greet and photos in the lobby after the show.

In addition to our live performances, Video On Demand is available through our ticketing site. Contact our studio if you would like a USB.
