30th Annual Production of The Nutcracker

Metropolitan Ballet Theatre has been presenting the full-length traditional staging of The Nutcracker since 1989. Year after year audiences are enchanted by MBT’s performances, which feature student and professional dancers, fabulous costumes, and beautiful scenery including a Christmas tree that seemingly grows forever, magical dancing dolls, marching toy soldiers, giant mice, a dazzling blizzard with dancing snowflakes and a land of luscious sweets. Metropolitan Ballet Theatre’s The Nutcracker is a fun family tradition that will lift your spirits this holiday season! (MBT’s shorter-length The Nutcracker Suite will be performed Dec 1 & 8 at 10am. Tickets are sold separately.) Attention Girl Scouts! Earn your Nutcracker Patch by attending one of our special “Chats” for Girl Scouts and other students after the 1pm performances on December 1st, 2nd, & 9th. Stay in your seats after the performance for our “Patch Chat”! MBT Commemorative Nutcracker patches (3.5″ round patches) are available for $3 at the gift table in the lobby or in advance by calling 301-762-1757.
