Kansas City Ballet's Nutcracker Returns to the Muriel Kauffman Theatre

Kansas City Ballet's Nutcracker Returns to the Muriel Kauffman Theatre

Based on The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E.T.A. Hoffman, Kansas City Ballet’s Nutcracker tells the story of young Clara’s adventures after receiving a special gift from Dr. Drosselmeier.

The Kansas City Symphony, conducted by Kansas City Ballet Music Director Ramona Pansegrau, will accompany the dancers with Tchaikovsky’s iconic score. 

“I am so excited to perform our wonderful vibrant production of The Nutcracker at the Muriel Kauffman Theatre. It means the world to me to see the joy and sparkle in the eyes of our audiences of all ages, as they are transported to a whimsical winter wonderland and a beautiful land of the sweets — full of scrumptious treats and surprises. It just wouldn’t be the holidays without our audiences enjoying this glorious production!"
