The Nutcracker, presented by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens and Artistic Director Ivan Cavallari
If you have ever wondered where the Kingdom of Sweets lies, how to defeat an evil Mouse King or asked who exactly is the Sugar Plum Fairy , from December 13th to the 30th, you and your family can come experience the magic of the Les Grands Ballets’ rendition of the Nutcracker which has charmed both young and old for the company’s past 55 seasons !
Expect to see elaborate sets, detailed costumes, elegant dancers who all help to tell the exciting journey of young Clara (performed alternately by Chlea Giguere and Audrey Dujardin ) as she helps defeat an evil mouse, meets her dashing Prince and travel to an enchanting land in this beloved, family ballet classic that celebrates the magic of the Holidays.
This annual performance is choreographed by the late Fernand Nault and accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score, performed live by the Les Grands Ballets Canadiens Orchestra in Salle Wilfrid Pelletier of La Place des Arts.
Featuring almost the entire cast of the Grands Ballets troupe, this full-scale classical ballet – based on the original E.T.A Hoffman tale, also features 100 local children who enthusiastically play the roles of mice, rats, angels, mirlitons and even matryoshka dolls!
This ballet is deeply synonymous with tradition and it is an excellent showcase of local talent and joyful spontaneity !
