Is it even the holidays without seeing “The Nutcracker”?

Presented by Greenville’s International Ballet, this beloved classic returns to the Peace Center from Friday, Dec. 13 to Sunday, Dec. 15.

Follow Clara and the Nutcracker Prince on a journey to the Kingdom of Sweets, encountering thrilling sword fights and enchanting snowflakes along the way.

Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, performed live by the Greenville Symphony Orchestra and accompanied by the Greenville Youth Chorale, will transport you to a winter wonderland.
