Where: Queen Elizabeth Theatre (649 Cambie St, Vancouver)
When: December 29 & 30 at 7:30pm, December 30 & 31 at 2:00pm
Tickets: Purchase through Ticketmaster at 1-855-985-2787 (855-985-ARTS) or online for $35 to $110 (including GST and service charges). Family 4-packs are available from $250-$335.
Choreographed by Edmund Stripe, with sets and costumes designed by Emmy Award-winning designer Zack Brown, The Nutcracker is set in turn of the 20th century Imperial Russia, an era of opulent grandeur. This production “…sparkles like a Fabergé egg…” says the Vancouver Sun and extravagantly displays more than a million dollars in stunning sets and costumes. With scores of children, mice in the battle scene dressed as Cossack soldiers, and snowflakes dressed as Russian princesses, this “sparking and spectacular achievement” (The Calgary Herald) offers a perfect complement to Tchaikovsky’s glorious musical score played live by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

I grew up in a small town in BC. A first generation Canadian, and my family was not familiar with this tradition – or the snow! I was introduced to the Nutcracker by my 3rd Grade Music teacher. The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy filled me with this wonderful tradition and I have carried it with me ever since. I have passed the magic of the Nutcracker onto my onto my daughter and hope to be able to share this moment with her, she is 4! Thank you for this chance.
