Austin, Texas – December 17, 2026 - Ballet Afrique is proud to announce the return of its eighth annual production of Duke Ellington’s The Nutcracker Suite at Texas Performing Arts – Bass Concert Hall. Fusing classic ballet, contemporary movement, and traditional African dance, this beloved Austin tradition reimagines Tchaikovsky’s timeless score through the big band jazz rhythms of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. Set against the backdrop of 1940s Harlem, The Nutcracker Suite follows young Clarinette, who receives a magical Nutcracker from her musician father, Trombone Charles. When an unexpected midnight battle breaks out, Clarinette and her siblings board the Price: $30 - $45.
