Audiences will not want to miss Oklahoma City Ballet’s traditional version of The Nutcracker with choreography by Artistic Director Ryan Jolicoeur-Nye. Tchaikovsky’s spirited and familiar score evokes warm childlike memories in the most glorious way as this colorful and extravagant ballet takes the stage once again during the holiday season. The Nutcracker will include students from the OKC Ballet Yvonne Chouteau School, plus live music from Canterbury Youth Voices and the Oklahoma City Philharmonic.

A sensory-friendly performance of The Nutcracker will take place on Monday, December 18, in partnership with AutismOklahoma. Click here for more information.
