Events Description
Les Grands Ballets Canadiens’ The Nutcracker has been a family tradition since choreographer Fernand Nault created it in 1964. Inspired by Hoffmann’s tale and danced to Tchaikovsky’s sparkling, picturesque music, this classic is a glorious holiday gift.
Follow young Clara and her charming Prince to the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets, where they find a bevy of larger-than-life characters: the Snow Queen, the King of Sweets, the Sugar Plum Fairy, cotton candy angels, reindeer, matryoshkas, greedy pastry chefs and many more. Dazzling sets, shimmering costumes, elegant pas de deux and comical turns — this spectacular show has it all. It’s a heartwarming treat that will set the eyes of young and old aglow.
