Clara’s holiday journey comes to the Belding Theater at The Bushnell, with two afternoon starts on each day of the December 5–6 engagement.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
The Nutmeg Ballet returns to Hartford with The Nutcracker, the holiday ballet centered on Clara and her magical journey. Its four performances offer a choice of an early or late-afternoon outing on either Saturday or Sunday.
The Bushnell presents the production as a holiday outing for families as well as returning audience members. Both days have the same pair of start times, so the choice is chiefly which day and part of the afternoon fits your plans.
A runtime or finishing time has not been announced. If you need to arrange a pickup or another commitment afterward, check with the box office before booking.
