We are thrilled to return to the stage with Hamilton’s traditional Nutcracker ballet. Rekindle the magic of the holiday season! This ballet will certainly enchant children of all ages, big & small!

Staged by Artistic Directors Max Ratevosian and Melania Pawliw, this production features live music with the Hamilton City Ballet Orchestra conducted by Mate Szigeti and the Nutcracker Choir conducted by Marta Greda-Kicek. The music is by Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky and the ballet is based on Vasily Vainonen’s choreography. Young dancers from across Hamilton and surrounding area perform this classic favourite, as well as professional guest artists. We hope to see you there and bring the whole family!

Please note that the live orchestra performs on Friday and Saturday evenings only.
