The Nutcracker pirouettes back to desert skies as Ballet Tucson unwraps its beloved holiday classic at the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall from Dec. 19–21, 2025. The 2,200-seat downtown venue—nestled inside Tucson Convention Center—will transform into a wintry fairy-tale where Clara’s dreamlike adventure meets Southwest flair.
Tickets for every December performance are on sale now. Fans can buy directly from the TCC box office or skip hidden service fees by shopping through ScoreBig, which lists ballet and family favorites with transparent pricing.
Ballet Tucson’s staging blends Tchaikovsky’s timeless score with fresh choreography and southwestern design touches, including vibrant desert-sunset backdrops. The professional company’s live orchestra, brisk pacing and locally trained youth dancers make it a signature holiday tradition for Southern Arizona families.
Patrons are encouraged to arrive early for Sugar-Plum photo ops in the lobby and limited-edition Nutcracker ornaments available only during the Tucson run. With five shows across one weekend, the production offers both matinee and evening options—perfect for date nights or multigenerational outings.
