About this adventure
Miami City Ballet presents George Balanchine's The Nutcracker®, one of America's most magnificent and enduring holiday theatrical traditions. Featuring a cast of more than 100 world-class dancers, including talented young students from the Miami City Ballet School, the production dazzles audiences of all generations. The Adrienne Arsht Center's Ziff Ballet Opera House comes alive with Tchaikovsky's legendary score performed live by the full Miami City Ballet Orchestra. Children will gaze in awe as the magical Christmas tree grows to an astounding 30 feet tall, toy soldiers battle comical mice with cannons, pure Florida 'snow' falls gently across the stage, and the Sugarplum Fairy welcomes Marie and her Prince to the Land of Sweets. Booster seats are available upon request for young children, and the venue offers ample space for stroller check-in at the lobby guest services counter.
