Shumka’s Nutcracker blends the grace and lyrical nature of classical movement with the strength and power of Ukrainian character dance. The cast of over 70, featuring Shumka dancers, youth from Veselka Ukrainian Dancers of Victoria, and Clara’s Dream Choir, will leave audiences exhilarated. “Canada’s Ukrainian Nutcracker” is a folk ballet based on the timeless Christmas classic with grand orchestral versions of the legendary score, specially added compositions, and Ukrainian symbols woven into lavish sets and costumes. The performance is a graceful, joyfully conceived presentation of enchantment embracing a classic tale of young Clara and her dream Prince.
“A perfect first Nutcracker for many generations… A powerful and beautiful thing to behold.”
