The Nutcracker, the Sugar Plum Fairy, Clara, and the Mouse King are some of the notable figures in the classic holiday ballet, The Nutcracker. First premiered on December 1892, this enchanting ballet tells the story of a girl and her journey through the Land of Sweets with her magical nutcracker.

This December 20, continue the holiday tradition of watching The Nutcracker by attending Nutcracker Tea at Civic Center Music Hall, Oklahoma. Not only will you get to watch fantastic performances by the Oklahoma City Ballet, you’ll also get to enjoy warm cocoa, treats, and tea with the dancers themselves!

Funds raised from this delightful event will go to Oklahoma City Ballet so they can continue to create beautiful dreamlike performances, support their current dancers, and hone new talent through dance scholarships.
