Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet delights audiences young and old with this uniquely Canadian take on the sparkling Christmas tradition Nutcracker. With stunning costumes, timeless choreography and brilliant score, this Nutcracker features iconic Canadian imagery such as a snowy hockey game and a battle on Parliament Hill as part of Clara’s holiday fantasy. The story is set in a stately turn-of-the-century mansion where young Clara’s Christmas dreams come to life. What could be more fun than to join Clara in a world where toys come alive, the Sugar Plum Fairy spreads her magic and a mischievous bear steals the Christmas pudding? Join us for this enduring holiday classic and share the fun with the whole family.
