LOCATION
Experience the MAGIC at this beloved holiday classic! For 36 years, The Nutcracker has become an Anchorage tradition that reminds us to dream bigger, leap higher, and experience the wonder of being a kid again.
The elegant Eugene Ballet and young Alaska dancers coordinated by Alaska Dance Theatre return to the Atwood Concert Hall accompanied by live music from Anchorage Symphony Orchestra. Bring the entire family to this classic holiday ballet as we journey with Clara to the Winter Land and the Land of Sweets. Audiences of all ages will enjoy the flurry of dancing delights after cheering on The Nutcracker Prince as he battles The Mouse King and Pirate Mice.
Subscription youth tickets start at $26. Box office youth tickets start at $35. Learn more about subscription options here.
