This year marks Canyon Concert Ballet's "The Nutcracker"! With a dazzling score by Tchaikovsky performed by the Fort Collins Symphony
Orchestra, this is a rare chance to see a classical ballet accompanied by a full orchestra in Fort Collins. This iconic holiday story is sure to please audiences of all ages with
mystery, battles, and beautiful ballerinas in sparkling tutus.
"The Nutcracker" follows a young girl, Clara, through her adventures on Christmas Eve during a party visited by her
mysterious Uncle Drosselmeyer. Life size dolls and toy soldiers create an evening that grows even more fantastical as she falls asleep and witnesses toy soldiers battling mice and
rats. A journey through the Land of Snow leads her to a world led by the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, and filled with dancing candies and sweets performing for her and her
soldier prince.
Now a Fort Collins and Northern Colorado Tradition, this year is sure to please, with a Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier danced by recently retired dancers from
Boston Ballet. Canyon Concert Ballet Company and School Students are also featured in this cast of over 120 performers. Performed at The Lincoln Center, Fort Collins.
