The Nutcracker 2025

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s 35th anniversary season continues with the crown jewel of the holidays — The Nutcracker! Starring Haley Schwan and Patrick Yocum of Boston Ballet, this sparkling production brings professional dancers from across the country together with children from ASFB’s acclaimed educational programs. Side by side, they create the magic, the memories, and the beloved tradition that families return to year after year. This uniquely American Nutcracker features a dazzling array of international dance — including a Chinese ribbon dance, bold flamenco, and lively Mexican folklórico — adding vibrant cultural flair to Clara’s around-the-world journey. There is no better way to welcome the season than with dazzling dancing, a kaleidoscope of traditions, and a production brimming with holiday cheer!
