The Nutcracker
December 15, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Opus Performing Arts is proud to present 4 performances of The Nutcracker this holiday season!
Step into the Stahlbaum family’s home, and watch as Clara’s world transforms before your eyes as she enters a magical wonderland of toy soldiers, a blizzard of snowflakes, a flock of marshmallow sheep, and many other delightful surprises! From the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to the audience favorite of Mother Ginger & her gingersnaps, this classical ballet, with a unique theatrical twist, continues to captivate Bellingham audiences year after year.
Set to Tchaikovsky’s magical score, this celebrated story comes to life with beloved characters, intricate hand-made costumes and over 120 dancers from the ballet school of Opus Performing Arts. The Nutcracker includes Opus’ youngest ballet students as cupcakes, peppermints and other denizens of the Kingdom of Sweets, as well as their advanced dancers in the iconic roles of Nutcracker, Peacock and the Sugar Plum Fairy.
