Artist Series: The Nutcracker

Maybe it’s the snowflakes whirling in a sparkling Russian winter. Or Clara decking the Mouse King with a ballet slipper. Perhaps it’s the Sugar Plum Fairy delicately balancing en pointe. Or gingerbread cookies bursting from Mother Ginger’s enormous skirt. Or maybe the Russian saber dancers leaping like acrobats. Maybe it’s the entire magical show. It’s why thousands have made this show a family tradition in the Cedar Valley. Supplemented by children from all over Eastern Iowa, The Minnesota Ballet presents The Nutcracker in all its Christmas glory.  Make it your tradition too.
