The Nutcracker

Northwest Florida Ballet returns to the Mattie Kelly Arts Center for its 47th annual production of The Nutcracker on Friday and Saturday, November 20 and 21, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, November 22, at 2:30 p.m. As the area's only full-length presentation of this beloved holiday classic, the production features a cast of more than 140 performers, including internationally acclaimed guest artists and more than 100 local children. The Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of NFB Music Director and Conductor David Ott, will perform Tchaikovsky's celebrated score live during each public performance.

For generations of families across the Emerald Coast, The Nutcracker has become a treasured holiday tradition. Combining exceptional local talent, distinguished guest artists and the power of live orchestral music, Northwest Florida Ballet's production continues to captivate audiences with timeless storytelling, breathtaking choreography and the artistry that has made it a holiday favorite for nearly five decades.

A VIP party will be held immediately following the performance on November 20, exclusively for season subscribers, cast, staff, and special guests. The Nutcracker is brought to you by Season Production Sponsor, the Mattie Kelly Arts Center.
