The holiday season sparkles a little brighter when NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet comes to Stockton! This unforgettable production will take center stage at the Bob Hope Theatre on Friday, November 7, 2025.

Now in its 33rd annual North American tour, the show combines the elegance of classical ballet with jaw-dropping circus artistry and imaginative puppetry. It’s a magical retelling of the beloved story — and unlike any Nutcracker you’ve seen before!

What Makes This Nutcracker Special?

Acrobatics & Circus Artistry – Watch in awe as the Herald dazzles with breathtaking Cyr Wheel stunts.
Larger-than-Life Puppets – From 10-foot-tall animals to graceful hand-crafted birds, the stage bursts with creativity.
Global Talent – Featuring a troupe of 40 world-class artists, including principal ballerinas from Ukraine’s top opera houses.
The “Doves of Peace” Adagio – A moving, symbolic performance that captures the spirit of unity and harmony.

A Stockton Holiday Experience for All Ages

This reimagined Nutcracker honors tradition while pushing artistic boundaries. Expect the timeless beauty of Tchaikovsky’s score and exquisite choreography, paired with innovative set design and dazzling theatrical effects.

As Executive Producer Dan Talmi explains, “Our dedication to blending traditional and modern elements ensures audiences of all ages will leave with memories to treasure.”
