About this event
Cincinnati Ballet's The Nutcracker is one of the city's irresistible winter traditions, Victoria Morgan's beloved adaptation set to Tchaikovsky's magical score, performed live by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra at Music Hall. The company first staged The Nutcracker at Music Hall in 1974, about a decade after 41 dancers were chosen at YMCA auditions in 1963 to form what has become the region's cornerstone professional ballet company.
Our take: Buy directly from Cincinnati Ballet, the only authorized seller, and book early if you want a holiday-week family outing.
