Atlanta Ballet’s newest version of The Nutcracker will be performed at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in December of 2022. This production premiered in 2018 and features state-of-the-art technology combined with lavish sets and costumes creating an immersive fantasy world befitting the most popular ballet of all time. Based on the original book by E.T.A. Hoffmann, the story takes Marie and her magical nutcracker doll away from a family Christmas Eve party and into a fantastical realm, led by a mysterious inventor.

Described by ArtsATL as “layered with imagery and so packed with visual details, it’s impossible to take it all in at once: Audiences can return year after year and make new discoveries,” this innovative production features larger-than-life sets and bold costumes enhanced by striking video projections.
