Group of Seven Nutcracker
Canada's newest full-length ballet, created by acclaimed choreographer Bengt Jorgen to Tchaikovsky's well loved score, reworks this timeless classic and is destined to become a national treasure that will warm the hearts of young and old alike.With over 100 costumes in richly covered fabrics, the Group of Seven Nutcracker features backdrops from Canada's 20th Century landscape artists. The ballet’s second act is remembered for its celebration of dances and the Group of Seven Nutcracker follows this tradition with woodland creatures dancing in their likeness in Ontario's Algonquin Park.
