The Nutcracker Reimagined

St. Paul Ballet is thrilled to announce that our beloved Nutcracker: REIMAGINED is returning for 2024! This production features our incredible Youth Company alongside CAAM Chinese Dance Theatre, Ethnic Dance Theatre, and more!
St. Paul Ballet’s Youth Company is a training program for ages 8-18 that focuses on the creative, social, personal, and technical skills needed by today’s ballet professionals. They share the stage with CAAM and EDT to wow audiences, inspire youth, and introduce a little more beauty into the world.
This event is perfect for:
  • Families with wiggly, excited, creative children!
  • Wiggly, excited, creative, adults!
  • Easing stress and increasing joy!
  • Elderly folks who want to feel inspired by the youth of today (our future artists!)
  • A good, moving, thrilling, adorable, impressive 90 mins on the town!
Make use of our Pay-As-Able ticketing to gather family, friends and relatives to experience a performance that will create treasured memories for years to come. Trust us, you don’t want to miss this!
St. Paul Ballet students of all ages will perform a mix of classic and brand-new choreography created and directed by Christina Onusko and SPB faculty Helen Hatch, Anthony Jones, Kaylie Bullock and Alejandra Iannone. If you’ve attended our past productions of The Nutcracker, you know to expect a multi-cultural, multi-genre take on the masterpiece.
Keep connected via social media and our mailing list to stay in the loop.

Make time for joy this season!

St. Paul Ballet offers PAY WHAT YOU CAN pricing. We ask everyone to pay what they believe the value of this performance is according to their current financial circumstances.

Some audience members are able to pay the suggested fair market value for tickets (suggested adult ticket $35) and even pay it forward by paying over the suggested price ($40 or $50).

Some audience members have a smaller budget but would like to bring their families, friends and children (minimum ticket price $5 and no fees are added if purchased at the box office). We wholeheartedly encourage this. All are welcome at our performances.
