Join Provo and the Covey Arts Center for the Utah Metropolitan Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker, a wonderful holiday tradition in Utah Valley for over 20 years!
Join the Cache Valley Civic Ballet in presenting the enchanted Christmas story by E.T. Hoffman. This production has become a family holiday tradition. Audiences will be delighted by the colorful scenery, beautiful costumes, enthusiastic performances by the dancers, and of course, the wonderful music of Tchaikovsky.
The story centers around Clara, the young girl whose fantasy dream makes the Christmas tree grow larger than one could imagine, brings toy presents and soldiers to life, and warms our hearts with the beauty of her candy land filled with mystical characters and a Sugar Plum Fairy.
The largest single annual event in Utah features live concerts, entertainment, rides, a rodeo, art, barnyard friends, little hands on the farm, an ice cream festival, and more.
Two lost children would be a tasty treat for the evil Witch, but Hansel and Gretel are too clever to be served as dinner. Grimm’s timeless fairy tale comes alive with glorious music, an eerie forest, and mystical woodland creatures.
Students invited to join the school will train with some of the finest teachers in the country and receive instruction from renowned guest teachers, as well as members of the artistic staff of Ballet West.
Ballet West Dance Company presents Carmina Burana with The Four Temperments
John Butler’s Carmina Burana –our most requested ballet by Utah audiences – is a thrilling collaboration between dancers, singers, and orchestra, set to Carl Orff’s heart-pounding score. Carmina Burana is paired with George Balanchine’s complex and inventive The Four Temperaments. Together, these two mid-Twentieth Century masterpieces create a powerful and emotionally stirring evening.

The talented student performers from the University’s prestigious Ballet Department will perform Stravinsky’s ‘Firebird,’ the iconic work based on Russian folk tales of a magical glowing bird that is both a blessing and a curse to its captor.
BYU Theatre Ballet will celebrate its 40th year by bringing the popular romance to life with original choreography by artistic director Shani Robison and live accompaniment of Sergei Prokofiev’s magnificent score by the BYU Philharmonic conducted by Kory Katseanes.
“The BYU Philharmonic will perform with BYU Theatre Ballet in a full-length ballet for the first time since the 1980s,” said BYU ballet faculty member Lynne Thompson. “That, coupled with beautiful dancing will add to the overall appeal of this classic tale that whisks audiences far away to the land of ‘happily-ever-afters.’ It’s a perfect fit for celebrating Valentine’s Day.”
An exciting addition to “Cinderella” that area royalty won’t want to miss will be the children’s “Prince and Princess Party” which will begin an hour before each performance in the de Jong Concert Hall lobby.
“Children can dress up in their prince and princess costumes to meet Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Fairy Godmother, and all of her fairies,” said Thompson. “Parents are welcome to bring cameras to take pictures with the dancers.”
