Thunder Bay’s Community Nutcracker

December 14 @ 1:00 pm

$35

 

Thunder Bay’s Community Nutcracker marks the first fully local presentation of the Tchaikovsky ballet in nearly 30 years!

Created in 1892, the two-act ballet, based on E.T.A. Hoffman’s 1816 short story, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, opens on Christmas Eve in Nuremberg, Germany. At a family gathering, Clara is given a nutcracker by her godfather, Drosselmeyer.

Ultimately, after finding herself in the midst of a battle between an army of gingerbread soldiers and the mice and their king, the Nutcracker, now transformed into a prince, leads Clara to the Land of Sweets, ruled by the Sugar Plum Fairy.

The show is a chance to bring all of Thunder Bay’s dance schools, plus the region, together to present a family-friendly show, one of the most beloved of the holiday season.

The Nutcracker is a great opportunity for all of the kids in Thunder Bay who do dance, or who aspire to become dancers, to have something to look forward to for roles that are different and more diverse. There are plenty of opportunities for the full production for kids to see someone in a different role that they can aspire to one day perform.

Don’t miss this incredible production live on stage at your Community Auditorium. It is the return of a family tradition!
