The Nutcracker – A Tale from the Bayou 2:00 PM

Clear bag policy in effect for the River Center Theater.

Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre kicks off its 2022-2023 season in the best of ways, with its magical holiday production of The Nutcracker - A Tale from the Bayou, finally returning to its home stage of the Baton Rouge River Center Theatre for Performing Arts. After five years of renovations, supply chain problems, and hurricane delays, our home-grown Nutcracker will return with all of the beauty of the original sets, props and effects that audiences have missed over the past few years. The company will, of course, dazzle with beautiful dancing, choreography, and lush costumes and our dancers will be thrilled to finally be able to stretch our legs in the beautifully renovated theater.

Tickets are on sale now with several purchase options. Tickets may be purchased online through Ticketmaster.com, by calling 225-766-8379, or in person at the River Center box office. Best-of-house seats are available with a purchase of season tickets, ensuring the best seating for all of our three performances, plus a 10% discount off of individual ticket prices and other perks.
