Christmas Magic in Midtown

The whimsical holiday tale of the Atlanta Ballet's Nutcracker continues at the Fox Theatre.

There's still time to experience the magic and beauty of a beloved Atlanta family holiday tradition as the Atlanta Ballet’s Nutcracker continues through Dec. 29 at the Fox Theatre.

Performances this weekend will be at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and at 7 p.m. on Sunday. There will be matinee performances on Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m.

Toys For Tots will have marked bins in the arcade and lobby of the theatre as patrons are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy with them to the performances.

"Each year we want to make sure we preserve the tradition, but also keep the magic and the mystery alive," said Atlanta Ballet Artistic Director John McFall. "We are thoughtful about each change we make and confident that it will ultimately make for a more enchanting experience."

Tickets start as low as $20 and can be purchased by phone at 855-ATL-TIXX, in person at the Fox Theatre Box Office and the Atlanta Ballet Box Office, or online at www.atlantaballet.com. For groups of ten or more, call Atlanta Ballet Group Sales at 404-873-5811, ext. 207.

Run time is approximately 2 hours, including a 25-minute intermission. Atlanta Ballet’s Nutcracker is sponsored by Belk, Inc.
