Nevada Ballet Theatre – The Nutcracker

Christmas Eve, Thursday December 24 at 2:00 PM — Reynolds Hall at The Smith Center hosts Nevada Ballet Theatre’s The Nutcracker matinee on one of the most special afternoons of the entire year.

There are few better ways to spend Christmas Eve than watching NBT’s dancers perform Balanchine’s choreography as Tchaikovsky’s score fills this Las Vegas concert hall with the full seasonal warmth of the production. Reynolds Hall’s acoustics and sightlines make it a perfect setting for ballet, and the 2:00 PM start means you have all of Christmas Eve evening still ahead when the curtain comes down. This is the kind of afternoon performance that becomes a holiday ritual once you do it once, and Las Vegas does it beautifully.
