George Balabchine's The Nutcracker

With its eighth annual performance of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker, Alabama Ballet remains one of only six companies in the world currently licensed to present this holiday classic. All performed to Balanchine's brilliant specifications; dazzling choreography, opulent costumes, and extravagant sets make this production unlike any other. The addition of a community cast of children from the area make this performance truly magical. Join us December 11-20 at the Samford Wright Center for this joyous spectacle. In addition to the Birmingham performances, Alabama Ballet will also tour to Anniston, AL. Balanchine's Nutcracker is more than a performance; it is a holiday tradition you and your family do not want to miss!
