More About The Nutcracker

30 Years of Magic. One Timeless Tradition.

For three decades, Indiana Ballet Theatre has been bringing the magic of The Nutcracker to life—where snowflakes dance, toy soldiers march, sweets come to life, and Clara’s Christmas dream becomes a holiday tradition! This year, we’re celebrating 30 magical years of IBT’s The Nutcracker. Join us this season in continuing your holiday tradition.

Step into the magic of the holiday season with Indiana Ballet Theatre’s enchanting production of The Nutcracker! A timeless tradition for families across Northwest Indiana, this beloved ballet brings Clara, her Nutcracker Prince, and the dazzling Land of Sweets to life with breathtaking choreography, lavish costumes, and Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score.

From the glittering Snowflakes to the spirited Spanish, Arabian, and Russian dances, every moment sparkles with wonder and joy. Whether it’s your first time experiencing this holiday classic or a cherished family tradition, The Nutcracker promises an unforgettable celebration of imagination, music, and dance.
Under the direction of Founding Artistic Director, Gloria Tuohy and Artistic Director, Amanda Tuohy, participants range in ages from 4 to 74. Watch in awe as our cast of more than 100 take to the stage and bring this classic to life.
