Monday December 22 at 7PM

Step into the Stahlbaum family’s home and watch as Clara’s world transforms before your eyes to enter a magical wonderland of toy soldiers, a blizzard of snowflakes, a flock of marshmallow sheep, and many other delightful surprises! From the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to the audience favorite of Mother Ginger & her gingersnaps, this classical ballet, with a unique theatrical twist, continues to captivate Bellingham audiences year after year. Set to Tchaikovsky’s magical score, this celebrated story comes to life with beloved characters, intricate hand-made costumes and over 130 dancers from the ballet school of Opus Performing Arts. The Nutcracker includes Opus’ youngest ballet students as cupcakes, peppermints and other denizens of the Kingdom of Sweets, as well as their advanced dancers in the iconic roles of Nutcracker, Rat Queen, Peacock and the Sugar Plum Fairy. Gather your friends and family and embark on a journey where bravery and imagination save the day!

We are thrilled to be accompanied this year by the Bellingham Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maestro Yaniv Attar.

Directed by Brooke Evans & Ian Bivins, with choreography by Brooke Evans & Celeste Hartsook, Opus’ The Nutcracker mesmerizes audiences of all ages and will include new surprises in addition to our favorite audience moments.
