The Nutcracker
The Sarasota Ballet School premiered its brand-new production of The Nutcracker in 2022. This timeless story of Clara and her adventures with The Nutcracker is an exclusive opportunity for Sarasota Ballet School students to perform in this magical production.
The nutcracker sits under the holiday tree, a guardian of childhood stories. Feed him walnuts and he will crack open a tale.
