06-07 Season

 2010 The Nutcracker
Celebrate the holiday season with The Nutcracker.  Fort Wayne Ballet is pleased to present this classic tale performed to Tchaikovsky's beloved score.  This childhood adventure is sure to transport everyone in your family to a different time and place as you spend the evening with our young heroine, Clara, and the cherished toy - her Nutcracker.  Enjoy the lavish sets and costumes while embarking on the magical journey to the Kingdom of Sweets where everyone from around the world celebrates the return of the Nutcracker Prince and Clara's triumph over the Mouse King.  In our increasingly busy lives, it is vital we celebrate traditions which build community and family.  Our community has made Fort Wayne Ballet's production of The Nutcracker one of these hallmarks year after year. Make our Nutcracker your Nutcracker.
