Featuring a cast of more than 100 San Antonio children, Ballet San Antonio's The Nutcracker is a longstanding local holiday tradition.

Commissioned by Ballet San Antonio in 2018 with choreography by Easton and Haley Smith, the production puts its own twist on Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's timeless composition.
