Recalling the days of holidays past, the Tampa City Ballet presents its classic ballet, The Nutcracker. In close collaboration with America’s Ballet School (ABS) they celebrate the promise, enthusiasm, and commitment of professional and pre-professional artists with hard-working young artists ¬– dance students, budding choreographers and their supportive families ¬– in the presentation of this beloved Holiday Classic. The Nutcracker is a time-honored family tradition of many generations. You will be taken back into the land of childhood dreams of magical clocks, mischievous mice, dancing toy soldiers, foreign lands and cultures, waltzing sugar plum fairies and romantic love ¬– all to the brilliant musical score by Pe Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The Nutcracker is always a sell-out, so please be sure to get your tickets NOW!
