Cleveland Ballet has announced an expanded 2025-2026 season of mainstage performances at Playhouse Square. The season opens October 24 to 25 at the Mimi Ohio Theatre with a return of “Dracula,” choreographed by the late Lynne Taylor-Corbett, paired with “Code of Silence” as a tribute to the Tony-nominated choreographer’s legacy.

“The Nutcracker,” choreographed by Artistic Director Timour Bourtasenkov and premiered in 2024, returns to Connor Palace for 11 performances from December 12 to 21. In the spring, the company presents “Handel’s Messiah” at KeyBank State Theatre from March 20 to 22, featuring a live orchestra and choir.

The season concludes with “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in May at Playhouse Square, pairing Shakespeare’s comedy with Mendelssohn’s score. Season subscriptions and a chance to win a free subscription for two are available through cleveballet.org.
