Vermont Ballet Theater is back! Live and ready to once again enchant our audiences with a journey through their delightful presentation of The Nutcracker! Performed exclusively at the Flynn in Burlington, it has quickly become a holiday tradition for Vermont families. 

All ages will be enthralled with VBT’s Nutcracker, from the spectacular start to the resounding conclusion, with VBT company director Alexander Nagiba’s stellar choreography set to Tchaikovsky’s beloved score. Vermont's Own Nutcracker is performed by VBT’s extraordinary dancers who are joined by other artists, all from around Vermont. 

Follow the delightful adventures of Clara and the Nutcracker Prince as they conquer the evil Mouse King and travel on a mystical journey to the Land of Sweets, where the enchanting Sugarplum Fairy reigns. Mice filching Christmas gifts, snowflakes swirling in dreamy white tutus, dolls spinning like tops, a fantasy world of dancers—from a Christmas tree that grows higher than ever, towering over Clara and the mysterious Herr Drosselmeyer, to the captivating ballerinas, VBT’s Nutcracker will thrill one and all.
