Greenville’s International Ballet presents this beloved classic on the Peace Center stage Dec. 8-10 — and brings plenty of holiday magic with it.

Principal guest dancers Ekaterina Nechayeva and Brooklyn Mack dazzle as Clara and her Nutcracker Prince as they journey to the Land of the Sweets, encountering a spirited battle between toy soldiers and the Mouse King, dancing snowflakes, and beautiful angels along the way.

Audiences can look forward to highlights including:

  • Tchaikovsky’s timeless score performed live by the Greenville Symphony Orchestra
  • A featured appearance by the Greenville Youth Chorale
  • Glittering costumes and exquisite sets (including falling snow)

This photo features a woman with long brown hair and light skin, standing in front of a pink bookmobile. She is smiling at the camera and dressed in a black puffer vest over a light pink sweater, light blue jeans, and colorful sneakers. The mobile bookstore is painted light pink and has the logo "Swoon Booksellers" with a stylized hand printed on the side of the vehicle. The back of the small truck has been converted into a set of shelves painted bright pink, holding an assortment of colorful books. The books are neatly arranged, with some standing upright and others stacked horizontally. The book titles include romance and fantasy. The setting is outdoors on a sunny day, with a brick building, trees with autumn-colored leaves, and a road in the background.
