Celebrate this festive season with the time-honored tradition of the Nutcracker Ballet, brought to dazzling life by the Gulfcoast Symphony and the Gulfshore Ballet. Set to Tchaikovsky's spine-tingling score, choreography from the Gulfshore Ballet's artistic directors Lliana Lopez and Franklin Gamero, as well as lavish costumes and sweeping set designs, punctuate the story of a little girl and a big Christmas time adventure.

The Nutcracker is one of the country's favorite Christmas events, and one of the most performed ballets in the world! This magical story of dancing toys and a Nutcracker prince is paired perfectly with Tchaikovsky's beautiful score. An annual Nutcracker performance by your local ballet company is the perfect way to welcome in Christmas with the whole family!
