The Nutcracker


The Nutcracker
Colorado Ballet
Ellie Caulkins Opera House
Denver, CO
November 26 - December 24, 2016

The Nutcracker is a holiday tradition offered by the Colorado Ballet. The company presents a month-long production of the classic ballet and every year most performances sells out.

The performances offer some comfortable consistencies every year. We are treated to Geoffrey Gonzales at Drosselmeier, a snowstorm during the Dance of the Snowflakes, the silly antics of Mother Ginger. But they are not afraid to make changes to their beloved production. This year featured a new costume for the Sugar Plum Fairy and a more relaxed and funny performance.

Even with the subtle changes, it’s still the same charming show. The music inspires, the dancing astounds and the story makes everyone smile. For those who love it, The Nutcracker will always sparkle.
