Every young person has to see the Nutcracker at least once – preferably when they are very young and again as an adult.
The Nutcracker is a Canadian Tradition that is coming back to the Performing Arts.
Running on the Main Stage Tuesday, November 25th and Wednesday,November 27th – 7:30pm

Created by acclaimed choreographer Bengt Jörgen to Tchaikovsky’s well-loved score, this classic is a favourite that adds magic to the holidays. Born from a collaboration with Kleinburg’s world-renowned McMichael Canadian Art Collection, this iteration of The Nutcracker brings out the magic of the great white north. Iconic 20th-century landscapes make up the stunning 30-foot backdrops, including Franklin Carmichael’s Church and Houses at Bisset.
Audiences will be taken on Klara’s familiar, magical dream journey, but this time, she arrives in Canada and experiences winter landscapes filled with snowflakes, lumberjacks, Mounties, and creatures of the woods!
Don’t miss this delightful classic with a Canadian twist!
