Royal Winnipeg Ballet: The Nutcracker
Dec 3 to 7 2003, traditional holiday faver.
An instant holiday classic! Based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s classic tale, The Nutcracker and The Mouse King, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s 1999 version of The Nutcracker tells the story of a young girl’s Christmas fantasy. This Nutcracker features a life-size bear, dancing mice, a sugar plum fairy, and a magically growing Christmas tree, all wrapped in a turn-of-the-century Canadian setting. Children also play a vital role in this Nutcracker, performing as mice, mounted police, and, of course, as children. With choreography by Nina Menon and Galina Yordanova, scenery by Brian Perchaluk, 175 original costumes by Paul Daigle, and Tchaikovsky’s timeless music, The Nutcracker is a visual and musical spectacle, a holiday confection which preserves the best of the Russian tradition and spices it up with uniquely Canadian ingredients.
