The Christmas Ballet at Lesher Center for the Arts Tickets

Choreography by Michael Smuin plus inventive premieres for 2022!

Smuin Ballet’s fiercely festive 2022 edition of The Christmas Ballet returns. It is our gift to the Bay Area showcasing Smuin’s exquisite signature style in a dazzling program of ballet, contemporary, character, Broadway jazz, and tap in two acts.

Ring in the holidays with Smuin’s The Christmas Ballet. Every performance is brimming with sublime classical ballet set to carols and showstopping contemporary works danced to pop music favorites. With choreography by Michael Smuin and inventive premieres by up-and-coming dancemakers, Smuin unwraps surprises and new treats each year.

Our yuletide spectacular was declared “sheer joy . . . the finest toast to the season” by the San Francisco Chronicle. Bay Area performances of our irrepressible holiday classic open in Walnut Creek on November 19.

Smuin’s fiercely festive tradition tours the Bay Area again this year, spreading holiday cheer to every member of the family. Make plans today to join us!
