The Nutcracker

Celebrate the holiday season with South Carolina Ballet’s Nutcracker. Perfect for families and couples alike, this beloved truly classical ballet production promises a magical evening filled with romance, adventure, and wonder, making it an ideal choice for families and a date night for loved ones.

This year’s production, inspired by the rich history of the South, is thoughtfully updated for a modern and diverse audience. Every scene will be enhanced by our new full set of custom-made backdrops reflecting the high degree of artistic and production standards synonymous with South Carolina Ballet and making the entire production more vibrant, colorful, and sumptuous than ever before.

“We are thrilled to present this updated rendition of Nutcracker to our audiences,” said William Starrett, CEO and Artistic Director of South Carolina Ballet. “Our goal is to breathe fresh life into this cherished ballet while celebrating the history and culture of the South. Audiences can expect an unforgettable journey into a world of magic, beauty, and splendor.”

The courtship between Clara’s sister and the Lead Cadet adds an extra touch of romance, making it an ideal evening for couples seeking a special holiday experience.
