Event Details
America’s 1st Nutcracker Returns! Last year more than 42,000 attended the hottest ticket in town! Hailed as the first and longest-running in America, Ballet West’s production of The Nutcracker has been recognized by Gov. Spencer J. Cox as a national treasure that should be celebrated by locals and tourists alike. Salt Lake City-based Ballet West annually performs America’s 1st Nutcracker – no other city, state, or company can boast that,” said Cox. Come experience a true legacy that brings families and friends back year after year.
One of the best Nutcrackers I’ve ever seen!
Alistair Macaulay, Principal Dance Critic, The New York Times
Ballet West’s Nutcracker is fast-paced, fresher than ever, and a holiday must-see.
