For four decades, Catskill Ballet Theatre’s The Nutcracker has been a cherished part of the Hudson Valley’s holiday season, enchanting audiences of all ages with its timeless story, magical sets, and stunning choreography. This anniversary year promises to be a milestone celebration of artistry, tradition, and community.

“We are thrilled to mark our 40th anniversary of The Nutcracker with such extraordinary talent gracing our stage,” said Melissa Bierstock, Artistic Director of the Catskill Ballet Theatre. “This production is not only a holiday tradition, but a reflection of the generations of dancers and families who have grown with us over the years.”

Join us as we follow the enchanted adventures of young Clara from a lavish Christmas party, to a battle with an evil Queen Mouse, through a winter wonderland of snow and ice, and then to the magnificent Land of Sweets where she meets the Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier with entertainment from delightful dances from around the world!
