The Nutcracker

December 21st - December 22nd @ Baker High School Theatre - 2pm & 7pm showings

Our new production brings all the magic and wonderment of the holidays to life, in an innovative way, with all the grandeur and pageantry of the classic tradition for the whole family. As you know, we weren't able to perform a full Nutcracker last year, but the world has watched our rise from that shocking moment to our quick return to the stage to keep performing for and in this community that we love!

This eagerly anticipated production features newly commissioned projections, new props, and beautiful traditional costumes, and of course the incredible artistry of CNY Ballet’s professional dancers as well as dozens of young artists from across the community. We hope you will join us for this triumphant moment for the arts in Central New York!

This production will take place in the professionally appointed Baker High School Theater, 29 East Oneida Street, Baldwinsville. 

Dates:

Saturday, December 21, 2024 at 2:00PM and 7:00PM

Sunday, December 22, 2024 at 2:00PM
