A Missouri holiday tradition, reimagined with full live orchestra.

MOSY brings the warmth and wonder of the season to the Missouri Theatre with Clara’s Nutcracker Dreams: A Missouri Christmas , a holiday concert experience featuring classical and popular holiday music, Nutcracker-inspired storytelling, and a collaboration with Columbia Ballet.

With Tchaikovsky’s beloved music brought to life by the Missouri Symphony, this concert offers a festive, theatrical, and distinctly local way to celebrate the season, complete with a holiday market, lobby activities, photos with Santa, and carols before the show.
