New Mexico Ballet Company and the New Mexico Philharmonic join forces for 2024's edition of Tchaikovsky's must-see holiday classic, beginning Thanksgiving weekend! The story of The Nutcracker was originally written by E.T.A. Hoffmann, with Tchaikovsky's masterpiece score accompanying the world-famous ballet receiving its debut over 130 years ago, in 1892. An evening spent at a performance of this enchanting show is the perfect way to welcome in Christmas with the whole family!

Families must get down to Jurassic Quest and have an awesome time delving into pre-historic times. Kids will jump at the chance to adventure into a world when dinosaurs of all types existed. This is the only event in the country that features dinosaurs that are the actual size that they were centuries ago and allows little ones to get up close and personal with these fascinating ancient creatures!

Featuring spectacular sets and beautifully costumed dancers, the Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet is an annual treat for the whole family. Whimsical and imaginative storytelling blends with the richness of classical dance, dazzling costumes, soaring birds, giant puppets and a grand stage design to make this particular Nutcracker a unique holiday treat not to be missed!
