Kick off the season and bring the entire family to the annual holiday tradition, the Nutcracker of Parker. The Nutcracker of Parker is celebrating its 20th anniversary with 8 shows scheduled from November 21st through November 26th.

This magical full-length ballet features the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky blending a cast of professionals, members of the Colorado Youth Ballet Company, and local dancers. Presented by Parker’s very own Colorado School of Dance, this is Parker’s longest-running, mainstage Nutcracker performance.

Our classic tale takes place on Thanksgiving Eve, 1892, as the Staulbaum family kicks off their Christmas season with a holiday party to light their new Christmas Tree.

You will be transformed as you watch the dazzling journey of a little girl named Clara who receives a simple wooden doll, The Nutcracker, from her Godfather Herr Drosselmeyer. When her brother Fritz causes trouble and breaks her doll, Herr Drosselmeyer quickly steps in to repair it, and adds a little magic to Clara’s beloved Nutcracker. Clara falls asleep, waking to a dreamland, watching her Nutcracker Prince turn into a real boy. Together, the Prince and Clara venture through the Land of Snow, to the Land of the Sweets, where they meet the Sugar Plum Fairy and her gallant court of dancers from every kingdom. From Spanish Chocolate, to Russian Candy Canes and Waltzing flowers, this is the whimsical ballet of the season and is meant for the entire family to enjoy!
