Saint Louis Ballet’s The Nutcracker has become a cherished holiday tradition for thousands of families across the region. Each December, audiences are swept away by this magical production—filled with glorious dancing, dazzling costumes, and Tchaikovsky’s beloved score.
This year, the enchantment grows even bigger—literally—with the unveiling of a brand-new Nutcracker tree in Act I, designed by renowned theatrical designer James Wolk. Making its debut this November, the stunning tree will transform before the audience’s eyes, growing from 11 feet 6 inches in the party scene to an awe-inspiring 23 feet during the dramatic battle scene—adding a breathtaking new dimension to this beloved holiday classic.
Under the direction and choreography of Gen Horiuchi, The Nutcracker comes to life with elegance, energy, and wonder—from the festive holiday party and the fierce battle with the Mouse King to the glittering Land of Snow and the sweet delights of the Kingdom of Sweets. Featuring a full cast of professional dancers and talented students from the Saint Louis Ballet School, The Nutcracker is a heartwarming celebration of the season that continues to inspire awe and joy for all ages.
