Tampa City Ballet presents its annual holiday production of The Nutcracker, with Tchaikovsky's score, stunning costumes and the full company alongside student dancers.
Tampa City Ballet brings The Nutcracker to USF Theatre 1 on Saturday, December 5, at 7 PM. It's their annual holiday production, a December fixture that's become a bit of a local tradition—often the first ballet for younger audiences and a holiday custom for families who've been coming back to it for years.
The story is the one you know: Clara is whisked away into a whimsical world of toy soldiers, mischievous mice, and the enchanting Sugar Plum Fairy. Tchaikovsky's score carries the whole thing, and the production fills out the rest with costumes and choreography. The company bills it as a timeless classic, and it's a full-company effort, with the professional dancers performing alongside student dancers.
