What to Anticipate at The Nutcracker

An Unforgettable Experience with Family & Friends

The holidays are best enjoyed with your loved ones, and there's no better place to create lifelong memories than at Milwaukee's favorite wintertime tradition!


Magical, World-Class Performances

Your journey through the fantastical Imaginarium is led by Milwaukee Ballet's full Company of Artists, plus up-and-coming dancers from Milwaukee Ballet II and 120 talented students from Milwaukee Ballet School & Academy.


Live Music by Milwaukee Ballet's Orchestra

Nothing brings like the holiday spirit quite like Tchaikovsky's beloved score, which is why 43 talented musicians perform this joyful soundtrack for the season live at every performance.


Dazzling Sets & Costumes

Last year's world premiere of Drosselmeyer's Imaginarium delivered on its promise of awe-inspiring new sets and costumes, so there's something new to spot every time you come.
