Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida: The Nutcracker GALA EVENT

Whether you are a long-time fan of The Nutcracker or experiencing it for the very first time, this 28th-anniversary performance promises to be a magical celebration you won’t want to miss. Be swept away by the enchanting world of dancing snowflakes, waltzing flowers, and the regal Sugar Plum Fairy — all brought to life through the exceptional artistry of our dancers and the visionary direction of Maestro Vladimir Issaev. This year’s production will be a true highlight of the holiday season, honoring nearly three decades of tradition, excellence, and community joy.

We especially welcome our alumni and former dancers to be part of this commemorative event. If you wish to join the celebration or participate in the festivities, please reach out — we would be delighted to reconnect and celebrate together.

A FREE 30 minute pre-show discussion for all patrons will occur thirty minutes prior to the start of the show, inside the theatre. A valid ticket for this designated event is required.

Arts Ballet Theatre maintains a very strict late seating policy. LATECOMERS WILL NOT BE SEATED UNTIL INTERMISSION.
