(TRENTON, NJ) -- The American Repertory Ballet, featuring Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey, presents Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Ballet at the Patriots Theater at the War Memorial in Trenton on Sunday, December 11th. The performance begins at 3:00pm.

This holiday favorite tells the magical story of Clara and her Nutcracker Prince as they battle toy soldiers, larger-than-life mice, and travel through a whirlwind of dancing snowflakes to the Land of Sweets. Greeted by the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, Clara enjoys a suite of brilliant and joyful dances in this family-friendly concert.

For the first time, American Repertory Ballet will collaborate with the Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey, led by conductor Daniel Spalding. These professional artists will be joined by the Trenton Children’s Chorus.

Tickets range from $25 to $55 and are available for purchase online.

The Patriots Theater at the War Memorial is located at 1 Memorial Drive in Trenton, New Jersey.
