The production follows young Clara as she drifts into a dream world filled with dancing snowflakes, the Sugar Plum Fairy and a journey through the enchanting Land of Sweets.
It has been performed around the world since Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky first adapted the short story into a ballet in 1892. In Fort St. John, The Nutcracker is on its seventh biannual production.
Artistic director Shauna Milne told Energeticcity.ca the early performances have already been a success.
