With toy soldiers, dancing snowflakes, and the Sugar Plum Fairy, you won’t want to miss The Nutcracker—a treasured holiday tradition and the only production with live orchestra in Central Texas. Back by popular demand, Ballet Frontier returns to Waco to inspire a childlike wonder in all of us.

With its cast comprised of professional dancers, talented local students, dazzling costumes, world-class choreography, and the Waco Symphony playing Tchaikovsky’s beloved score under the baton of Maestro Beau Benson (Music Director/Conductor of the Temple Symphony Orchestra and Director of Instrumental Music at Pepperdine University), the stage is set for an unforgettable experience for all ages!

Visit the Nutcracker Market in the lobby to purchase nutcrackers and themed ornaments.

Sales benefit the Waco Symphony.

Add a Kingdom of Sweets package for $25 that includes a professional photo with the Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier Prince after the performance, a decorated cookie, and a souvenir ornament (limited to 125 purchasers).

The Nutcracker performance is approximately 2 ¼ hours long with a 20-minute intermission.
