Orlando Ballet Project 50

Conceived and choreographed by Orlando Ballet Artistic Director Jorden Morris, this magical new production will be the largest in scope and caliber ever created by an Orlando-based performing arts organization and promises to inspire new and renewed holiday traditions for more than one million guests over the next 20 years!

The Nutcracker is the cornerstone of our repertoire and unites all three pillars of our mission. This timeless work provides significant performance opportunities for the entire Company, brings Orlando Ballet School to the stage with incredible roles for our young dancers, and serves as a primary vehicle for Community Enrichment, with programs and performances reaching over 17,000 students annually.

You can help make this new production a reality through your generous support! This from-scratch, Broadway-caliber production includes sponsorship opportunities at every level of investment – from a single costume to the entire new costume collection or sponsoring a scene in the show to an entire act, the sets, or magical staging elements such as flying! If you prefer that your gift go to the overall production – your investment in our New Works Fund makes a meaningful difference that will allow for planned future enhancements to The Nutcracker and support future commissioned works.
