World Ballet Company: The Nutcracker
World Ballet Company: The Nutcracker at Music Hall Center
Some holiday music belongs in a room where you can feel it, not just hear it through a speaker. World Ballet Company: The Nutcracker pairs Tchaikovsky's score with a live orchestra and forty professional dancers, giving Marie's Christmas Eve dream a grand setting at Detroit's Music Hall Center. If the opening notes of this ballet already signal the season to you, imagine hearing them while the story unfolds in front of you. This is a tradition with real people creating its magic in real time.
A live orchestra gives Marie's holiday dream another reason to draw you in. World Ballet Company: The Nutcracker comes to Music Hall Center in Detroit on Saturday, December 19, 2026, at 7:00 PM, with Tchaikovsky's score performed alongside the ballet. The music is part of this particular production's appeal, offering an invitation for listeners as well as dance fans.
Hand-painted sets and handcrafted costumes bring extra warmth to a world of mice, snowflakes and the Kingdom of Sweets. Bring a longtime ballet fan who notices every detail, or someone who's never experienced a full Nutcracker onstage. Either way, the combination of dancers and musicians gives you plenty to enjoy together. The Saturday, December 19 performance begins at 7:00 PM. Find a place in the audience and let this holiday story be something you actually experience this year.
