About this adventure
Nashville Ballet's Nashville's Nutcracker is Paul Vasterling's Emmy Award-winning retelling of the holiday ballet, set on a uniquely Nashville adventure with swirling snowflakes, a Sugar Plum Fairy and a troupe of tiny baby mice, and danced to Tchaikovsky's score played live by the Nashville Symphony. Performances run from Thanksgiving weekend through December 27 in Jackson Hall at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center downtown, with 2 pm matinees and 7 pm evening shows. The ballet runs about two hours: Act 1 is 51 minutes, then a 20-minute intermission and a 51-minute Act 2, which makes it manageable for many school-age children and patient preschoolers. Nashville Ballet bills it for audiences of all ages and has an Attending the Ballet guide for first-timers. Groups of 10 or more save 15% on select performances, and season packages discount children under 12. Tickets are non-refundable and sold through TPAC.
