Ballet Victoria: The Nutcracker

Christmas has finally arrived at the Stahlbaum home. Family and friends are gathered around the Christmas tree in a festive night of dancing, gifts, and celebration. Young Clara receives a special gift from her mysterious Uncle Drosselmeyer—a toy Nutcracker, which comes to life and takes her on a magical journey.

See the beloved holiday story come to life on the Mainstage in a whimsical presentation by Ballet Victoria. A timeless musical score, beautifully imagined and executed choreography, brilliantly costumed dancers, and imaginative staging make this the ideal festive family outing.

For more than 20 seasons, Ballet Victoria has been an innovative company dedicated to originality. Artistic Director Paul Destrooper and his company of 12 professional dancers have produced close to one hundred new works and tour across Canada, the USA, and Mexico.
