The Nutcracker at the Stafford Centre
Join the Grand Kyiv Ballet on an unforgettable journey into a world of dreams, magic, and triumph over evil.
Featuring some of the most prestigious ballet dancers from Ukraine, this heartwarming production has captivated audiences on world stages for years.
In this enchanting holiday classic, a young girl befriends a Nutcracker that magically comes to life on Christmas Eve. Together, they venture to a fantastical kingdom filled with dancing sugar plum fairies, toy soldiers, and other whimsical characters. Along the way, she discovers that love, imagination, and kindness can conquer adversity—and create magic in our lives. The Nutcracker was first adapted into a ballet in 1892 by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, with a libretto by Marius Petipa, based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s beloved story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.”
This is more than a performance—it’s a treasured tradition that brings joy and wonder to audiences of all ages.
