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. ## Similar picks in Dallas–Fort Worth - [The Nutcracker — Festival Ballet of North Central Texas](https://grassyknees.com/dallas-fort-worth/activities/the-nutcracker-festival-ballet-of-north-central-texas--listing-4e7e1f878d535131eab362e3) — Fri, Dec 11 (+2 more dates) · UNT University Theater, RTFP Building, Denton · From $37.75 · checked Oct 20.
