The magic of The Nutcracker returns this holiday season. Treat your loved ones to this spectacular production. Choreographed by James Kudelka, The Nutcracker features stunning designs by Santo Loquasto and lighting by Jennifer Tipton.

One of the largest and most elaborate productions in the National Ballet's repertoire, The Nutcracker will be presented with some adaptations to ensure the safety of all involved. All the children's roles will be performed by students of Canada's National Ballet School, with no external performers. All children under the age of 12 will be required to provide proof of a negative rapid antigen or PCR COVID-19 test. A discount will be added to tickets for children under the age of 12 to offset the cost of the test. There will be no children under the age of 12 in the production and all performers and crew will be fully vaccinated. Additionally, the roles of the Cannon Dolls will not be performed by celebrity guests this year.
