Texas Ballet Theater: The Nutcracker at Bass Performance Hall

About this adventure

Following its Dallas engagements, Texas Ballet Theater travels westward to historic downtown Fort Worth to present The Nutcracker within the ornate Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall. Graced by 48-foot hand-carved limestone angels on the hall’s exterior facade, this majestic setting provides the ultimate holiday backdrop for Ben Stevenson’s celebrated staging of the classic ballet. With the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra performing Tchaikovsky’s stirring music live in the pit, audiences of all generations will be captivated by the swirling snowflakes, the Arabian coffee dancers, Mother Ginger and her tumbling polichinelles, and the athletic Russian trepak. Running through the heart of December with weekend matinees and a special Christmas Eve performance, it remains Fort Worth’s premier family performing arts tradition.
