Lyceum Series to Showcase Ballet with “The Nutcracker and Broadway Dreams”
The Saint Louis Ballet will perform “The Nutcracker and Broadway Dreams” at 7 p.m. Dec. 5 in Baldwin Auditorium as the next show in this year’s Kohlenberg Lyceum Series.
Established in 1975, The Saint Louis Ballet was originally founded as a nonprofit organization. After taking the role as executive and artistic director in 2000, former New York City Ballet principal dancer Gen Horiuchi has since expanded the organization into a resident ballet company that employs 21 professional dancers and teaches hundreds of students of all ages at the St. Louis Ballet School. The company’s performances reach more than 17,000 people every year.
In their show at Truman, The Saint Louis Ballet will perform selections from Jerome Robbins’ jazz-infused “Interplay,” along with “Pas de Deux” from Christopher Wheeldon’s “Carousel,” concluding the evening with Act II of “The Nutcracker,” including “Waltz of the Snowflakes.”
Tickets will be available starting Nov. 13 to be picked up at any of three convenient campus locations: the Union and Involvement Office in the Student Union Building; the Advancement Office in McClain Hall 205; or the Admissions Office in the Ruth W. Towne Museum and Visitors Center. Tickets will also be available off campus at the Kirksville Arts Association in downtown Kirksville. Any remaining tickets will be available at the ticket window in Baldwin Hall beginning 30 minutes before the performance.
Tickets for the 2026-27 Kohlenberg Lyceum Series are provided free of charge thanks to the generous support of local sponsors, the Friends of the Lyceum program and the Truman State University Foundation.
