Nutcracker

Based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s classic tale, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's Nutcracker tells the story of a young girl’s Christmas fantasy. This classic version is set to Tchaikovsky’s glorious music, with its wonderfully danceable, innocent melodies and brilliantly inventive orchestration. It features dancing mice, a sugar plum fairy and a Christmas tree that grows all wrapped up in a turn-of-the-century Canadian setting.
