"...a grand-scale production with a distinct Canadian touch." Van City Vince
In-person event
Featuring the NAC Orchestra
Tradition continues as NAC Dance proudly brings back a family favourite this holiday season!
Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet is descending upon the National Arts Centre to perform their much-loved, all-Canadian version of the timeless story of Nutcracker. Join Clara in her fairy-tale reverie — along with her Prince, the Mouse King, Sugar Plum Fairy, majestic Mounties and Filbert the Bear — for this delightful frolic through a winter wonderland.
Set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, Nutcracker will immerse you into a fantastical world of extravagant sets and costumes. A joyful seasonal tradition for the whole family!
Performance is approximately 2 hours and 4 minutes including intermission
