Both show dates – Saturday, Nov. 29 and Sunday, Nov. 30 – will include matinee and evening performances. This production is a traditional favorite for many families to launch into the Christmas season.

“I am so incredibly excited for our production of Nutcracker!” Downs said. “I’m honored to share the production with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra and Indiana Ballet Conservatory on Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece. I’ve performed at the Moscow Conservatory’s concert hall where many of Tchaikovsky’s works were premiered including his fourth symphony. Being in the space that Tchaikovsky himself would’ve heard his own music will always send a shiver down my spine. The Nutcracker is an incredible show that houses a captivating story told by sublime music. It’s my greatest privilege to be able to share this remarkable work with all of you!”

Tickets for The Nutcracker are available through the Fifth Third Bank Box Office by calling (317) 843-3800 or online.
