​

For 22 years, International Ballet has performed The Nutcracker ballet at the Peace Center, with live music provided by the Greenville Symphony Orchestra. Known for presenting the full-length classical version of this beloved holiday tradition, International Ballet's Nutcracker has become a cherished holiday tradition throughout the region and beyond. 

​

Bringing The Nutcracker to life requires an extensive collection of more than 140 costumes, along with sets and backdrops that create the magical world audiences have come to expect. While our dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to refresh and repair these treasured assets, many costumes and other items are in need of replacement. High-quality costumes are essential not only to the visual beauty of the production but also to the safety, comfort, and performance of our dancers. Depending on the role and design, replacement costumes can cost anywhere from $200 to $1,500 each.

Your investment in the Nutcracker Endowment Fund helps ensure that International Ballet can continue presenting this treasured holiday tradition for generations to come. Gifts to the fund provide long-term support for the preservation and replacement of costumes and sets that make The Nutcracker such a memorable experience.
