‘The Nutcracker’ Returns to Guild Hall

Thu, 12/04/2025 - 12:00
The Hampton Ballet Theatre School’s “The Nutcracker” will have three performances at Guild Hall, the first on Dec. 12 at 7 p.m.

The Hampton Ballet Theatre School returns to Guild Hall on Friday, Dec. 12, for its 16th annual production of “The Nutcracker.” The holiday favorite will take the stage at 7 p.m. that day and on Dec. 13, and at noon and 5 p.m. on Dec. 14.

The student dancers will bring Tchaikovsky’s cherished ballet to life, transporting audience members of all ages “to a land where angels, snowflakes, and flowers dance while Clara saves the Nutcracker Prince from the evil Mouse King,” it says on the Guild Hall website.

Ticket prices range from $40 to $60. Group discounts are available for parties of 10 or more. Tickets can be purchased in advance at guildhall.org under the “program and events” tab.
