The Rosemary Youth Ballet at Onyx Studio 2 performs Nutcracker & the Mischievous Elves at 6 p.m., December 7, 2025 at the Sarasota Opera House, 61 N. Pineapple Ave., Sarasota, FL 34236.

Current and past studio students will perform alongside guest former professional dancers in a delightful interpretation that’s fun for all ages.

Join this Sarasota-based ballet troupe for a modern, fresh and fun interpretation of the classic holiday ballet.

This is a spectacular night out for the whole family, so gather your crew and prepare to be transported by the music of Tchaikovsky - and some more contemporary holiday tunes (we’re as mischievous as the Elves, so you’ll have to attend to find out which ones!).

Our whole ballet community comes together each year to bring you the magic of the season. This is our biggest and best Nutcracker ever - and you'll leave inspired by the artistry and antics in this adaptation tailored to our troupe.

Don't miss the show!
