Full length classical ballet performance is integrated into the IBT curriculum as an essential element of training. IBT performs a Spring performance and the Nutcracker every December at the Colonial Theatre.
The Nutcracker
Idaho Ballet Theatre is celebrating our 21st annual performance Tchaikovsky’s beloved, The Nutcracker featuring more than 100 local children ages 3-18 dancing this classical ballet event. From the impressive staging to the beautiful costumes to the skilled dancing, audiences are in for a magical three nights!
Join us DEC 5th, 6th & 7th, 2024
The story of The Nutcracker is loosely based on the E.T.A. Hoffmann’s fantasy story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, about a girl who befriends a nutcracker that comes to life on Christmas Eve and wages a battle against the evil Mouse King. Read more about the Nutcracker here.
