The Nutcracker.
CCB’s annual performance of The Nutcracker is a longtime tradition in Fort Collins. This family favorite is performed on the main stage at The Lincoln Center, and attracts multi-generational audiences who often use it as their family gathering for the holiday season. The performance is accompanied by live music from the Fort Collins Symphony and our Nutcracker Boutique in the lobby.
On Christmas Eve, young Clara falls asleep after the family Christmas party. As the clock strikes midnight, Clara is transported to a wonderful world where toys become larger than life, her beloved Nutcracker defends her from the evil Mouse King, and stunning Snowflakes dance delicately. This beautiful, lively ballet is sure to delight audiences and remind us all of the magic of the Christmas season.

Romeo & Juliet.
The beautiful sets and lavish costumes further emphasize the passion of this beloved ballet and its star-crossed lovers. Verona is the site of a longstanding feud between two families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Romeo, a Montague, falls in love with Juliet, a forbidden Capulet, and they marry in secret.
When Juliet learns she is pledged in marriage to someone else, she takes a sleeping potion to convince her family she is dead. She sends news of her plan to Romeo but he does not receive it. Believing Juliet dead, Romeo takes his own life and she, on waking, takes hers. Every leap and turn breathes new life into Shakespeare's masterpiece and invites audiences to rediscover the iconic love story like it’s the very first time.
