NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet in Minneapolis

Experience the enchantment of Tchaikovsky's timeless ballet, The Nutcracker, as it comes to life in Minneapolis. This production by The Former Moscow Ballet follows a young girl's Christmas Eve dream, featuring a Nutcracker doll, the Mouse King, and the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, with Tchaikovsky's iconic score that famously uses the celesta, the ballet transports audiences from a festive family home to a magical snow-covered forest and the Land of Sweets.

Since the late 1960s, The Nutcracker has become a beloved holiday tradition in North America, with major ballet companies often generating a significant portion of their annual revenue from performances. This show offers a chance to witness the artistry and wonder of a classic holiday event.
