Ballet Victoria is bringing a holiday classic to Maple Ridge, with two performances of The Nutcracker.
The show will be at The ACT Arts Centre on Dec. 9 and 10, with 3 p.m. performances.
In the show it’s Christmas Eve, and amid the festivities, young Clara receives a special gift from her magical and mysterious Uncle Drosselmeyer – a toy nutcracker, which comes to life and takes her on a magical journey.
Ballet Victoria invites theatre-goers to “be transported at any age by this beloved Christmas tradition.”
“A timeless musical score, beautifully imagined and executed choreography, brilliantly costumed dancers, and imaginative staging with humour make this an annual family holiday classic.”
For more than 20 seasons, Ballet Victoria has been an company dedicated to originality. Artistic director, Paul Destrooper and his company of 12 professional dancers have produced close to 100 new works, and toured in Canada, the USA and Mexico.
