On Saturday, December 17, 2022, Cincinnati Ballet welcomed more than 600 guests into the Land of Sweets at our Nutcracker Luncheon. For the first time since 2019, Music Hall Ballroom was transformed into an awe-inspiring winter wonderland, filled with enchantment and holiday cheer.
Guests of all ages enjoyed festive food and drinks, performances by Cincinnati Ballet Second Company – CB2 and Cincinnati Ballet Professional Training Division Dancers, holiday treats, carolers, face painting, balloon animals, and photo opportunities with costumed Nutcracker characters, including the Sugar Plum Fairy and Dancing Fiona!
A special thank you to Nutcracker Luncheon Committee co-chairs Amanda Rassi and Katie Waterson and Committee Members Jackie Bryson and Arielle Goldberg for their hard work in bringing this magical event to life.
Proceeds from this event support Cincinnati Ballet and its unique and inspiring stage performances, extensive educational and community programs, and our Otto M. Budig Academy.
We look forward to hosting everyone again next December!
