If you only ever see one ballet in your life, it will likely be The Nutcracker. Honour a Toronto tradition and see the National Ballet of Canada’s performance of this wildly popular ballet this Christmas season! Described as “at once cheeringly traditional yet freshly attuned to the rhythms and accents of the contemporary,” this version of The Nutcracker highlights beautiful choreography and childhood whimsy while “re-shaping…the narrative…into new thematic territory.” The ballet follows siblings Misha and Marie as they experience the marvelous and extraordinary world of childhood fantasy while preparing to enter the new and different world of adolescence.

Described as “a splendid spectacle” by the Toronto Star, you will not want to miss The Nutcracker at the Four Seasons Centre this Christmas season! For show times, ticket prices and availability, go to the National Ballet of Canada’s website.
