About Joffrey Ballet: The Nutcracker
Celebrate the holiday season with the Joffrey Ballet’s The Nutcracker, choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon to Tchaikovsky’s timeless score. This production features the Lyric Opera Orchestra performing live, bringing the magical world of Clara, the Nutcracker, and the Sugar Plum Fairy to life on stage in downtown Chicago.
Performance: December 27, 2025 at 2:00 PM (Central Time) at Lyric Opera House, a premier venue located at 20 N. Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606. The run runs as part of the Joffrey’s 70th anniversary season and Wheaton’s Nutcracker celebration, with a total of 27 performances from December 5–28, 2025.
Tickets are available in multiple tiers to fit a range of preferences, including Main Floor, Dress Circle, First Balcony, Upper Balcony, and Boxes. Ticket availability and seating charts are provided by The Joffrey and Lyric Opera, with pricing shown via the Lyric seating chart. Secure your seats through our easy, no-fuss process and enjoy a festive performance that combines world-class ballet with live orchestral accompaniment.
Why choose The Joffrey for The Nutcracker? Expect precision in the choreography, lush production design, and a holiday classic experience enhanced by a full live orchestra. The Lyric Opera House offers excellent acoustics and visibility across seating tiers, ensuring a memorable show for every guest. If you’re planning ahead, consider the date as part of a broader Chicago holiday itinerary—downtown theaters, lights, and nearby dining options complement an afternoon at the ballet.
Pro tip: secure your seats early, as Nutcracker performances tend to sell out quickly during the holiday season. We’ve got you covered with reliable, straightforward ticket purchasing to make your experience smooth from checkout to curtain call.
