The 16th annual production will see the debut of new set backdrops, which replace the originals made in 2001. A company in Russia was commissioned to hand-paint the backdrops measuring a massive 25 feet wide and 50 feet tall.
Here's a Preview of the new set backdrops:

"I am excited for our audiences to see our new set backdrops." says CFB Founder and Executive Director, Vasile Petrutiu. "It will be the perfect holiday surprise!"
While staying true to the traditional classic story of The Nutcracker, the Central Florida Ballet's production is unique to the nation for its: thrilling pyrotechnics, fiber-optic special effects, and aerial acrobatics.
The production reached national attention from major news organizations:
• USA Today "the pyrotechnic Nutcracker"
• CNN Headline News "one of the top five productions in the nation"
• Wall Street Journal "mini-explosions and aerial acrobatics"
Two popular events complementing the ‘Nutcracker experience’ are: The Nutcracker Boutique filled with popular gift items, and the Nutcracker Raffle & Silent Auction which will raise funds for the 2016/17 season. Both events will open forty-five minutes before each performance and during intermission.
Tickets are priced at $80 for “VIP” package, $64 for “Gold Circle”, $48 for Section A, $38 for Section B and $24 for Section C and may be purchased at centralfloridaballet.com.
