Cincinnati Ballet enchants audiences each holiday season with its beloved production of The Nutcracker, presented by the Sheakley Family. No holiday is complete without a trip to the Land of Sweets, where the magic unfolds on stage at Cincinnati Music Hall. This treasured tradition features Tchaikovsky’s iconic score performed live by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and brings to life the whimsical journey of a curious young girl named Clara, whose Christmas dream transports her to a dazzling world of dancing snowflakes, sweets, and holiday wonder. With rich storytelling, stunning choreography, and festive charm, The Nutcracker captivates families and arts lovers alike, creating an unforgettable seasonal experience. Advertising alongside this iconic production offers a rare opportunity to connect your brand with Cincinnati’s most celebrated holiday tradition. 

For over 50 years, The Nutcracker has been a cornerstone of Cincinnati Ballet’s legacy and a highlight of the city’s cultural calendar. The production features a cast of world-class dancers alongside over 60 local children, reinforcing Cincinnati Ballet’s deep community roots. Unique local touches—like the much-loved cameo by Fiona the Hippo—add a playful twist that resonates with loyal audiences year after year. As the region’s most anticipated holiday event, The Nutcracker draws a diverse and devoted audience, making it an exceptional platform for advertisers looking to reach arts patrons, families, and cultural tastemakers during the most festive time of year.
