Accompanied live by the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, the production brings E.T.A. Hoffmann's classic tale to life with brilliant costumes, world-class choreography, and dazzling stage magic, including a growing Christmas tree, falling snow flurries over the stage, and an enchanting Waltz of the Snowflakes. More than 100 students from the Charlotte Ballet Academy dance alongside the professional company, making this an especially relatable inspiration for young children. The Belk Theater offers comfortable, cushioned seating with excellent sightlines. Parents can request booster cushions from the ushers upon arrival. The theater's coat check provides safe stroller parking during the performance. Dedicated family restrooms with diaper-changing stations are located on the main lobby level, and elevator banks serve every floor. ## Similar picks in Charlotte - [Charlotte Symphony: Holiday Pops & Family Christmas Concert](https://grassyknees.com/charlotte/activities/charlotte-symphony-holiday-pops-and-family-christmas-concert--listing-df2b2b601ae1b004b81e15b2) — Dec 11 – Dec 13 · 11:00 AM – 9:30 PM · Belk Theater at Blumenthal Arts · All ages · From $26 · checked Nov 5.
