The Nutcracker

The Oregon International Ballet Academy (OIBA) proudly presents its beloved holiday tradition, The Nutcracker, returning to the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts on December 5 and 6, 2026, with three enchanting performances and the possibility of a fourth show due to growing audience demand.

A beloved holiday tradition, this production “melds the charm and childhood joy of student dancers with stunning appearances from the school’s top performers and from surprise guest artists, local celebrities of the ballet world… [for] a high-quality, cohesive and exhilarating experience.” (DanceWire Magazine) This is a beloved favorite with fresh surprises every year.
