Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet at United Palace: Dec. 5, 2026
The United Palace performance has moved from 7 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5, 2026. The ticket listing says tickets remain valid for the revised time; doors open at 1:30 p.m.
A tour-wide description, not a local cast announcement
The production is on its 30th-anniversary tour. Its general description combines classical ballet technique with large puppets and acrobatic passages, and calls the show family-oriented. It also describes an international cast and mentions Ukraine ballet stars. Those are tour-level details, not confirmation of who will appear at United Palace.
The venue listing includes The Former Moscow Ballet and The Nutcracker among its lineup entries, alongside NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet. It does not give individual dancer names or roles, or an act-by-act running order. Readers seeking a particular performer or a detailed scene list will not find one in the local listing.

The photo and wooden Nutcracker are separate listings
The event page lists a lobby photo and an official wooden Nutcracker as add-on products, separate from the performance ticket. Their prices and instructions for using them are not stated, so check their listings before making plans or budgeting for either.
