Alberta Ballet is extending a special offer of 25 per cent off to the UCalgary community for the upcoming Nutcracker performances in Calgary Dec. 13 to 15 and 20 to 21.

The Nutcracker is a classic that has enchanted dance fans of all ages for decades. This timeless holiday tale will transport you to Imperialist Russia’s majestic era, when French fashion was in vogue and Tchaikovsky composed his timeless masterpiece. The Nutcracker features a live orchestra and a cast of more than 120 dancers, with dazzling sets and costumes designed by Emmy-award winning designer Zack Brown, and choreography by Edmund Stripe.

Each year, Alberta Ballet offers new elements in The Nutcracker to keep it fresh. Whether it is new cast members dancing lead roles, whimsical costumes, enchanting choreography, or engaging lobby activities for the kids, it always feels like the first time.

As well as the enchanting Nutcracker this offer is also being extended to Diavolo on Jan. 16 to 18.
