A Magical Experience for the Whole Family!

When Miami City Ballet staged its new production of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker® in 2017, our audiences were delighted that a South Florida dance company could create a winter wonderland despite the lack of snow.

Every season since, we have continued to capture the holiday spirit with this captivating display of Balanchine’s choreography performed by over 100 dancers against a background of spirited Tchaikovsky music, dazzling costumes, and glimmering sets.

Leave the world behind, and treat yourself and your family to seeing the stunning Miami version of this classic piece, snowflakes and all!

“Exquisite dancing, music, and costumes” – The Miami Herald
