Ballet Idaho has announced the return of The Nutcracker to the stage at the Morrison Center from Friday, November 26 through Sunday, December 5.

There’s a reason attending this performance during the holidays is a memory for all generations.    Kids and kids at heart are enraptured by the playful mice, magical transformation of the Nutcracker Prince, Clara’s adventure to the Land of Sweets, and the wonder of toy soldiers, dancing snowflakes, and the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Children from Ballet Idaho Academy will be performing with professional company members, company apprentices, and participants of the trainee program.  Opera Idaho’s children’s choir will join the Boise Phil orchestra to provide live accompaniment of Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score.   This is an annual tradition that is not to be missed!

Tickets for this season’s performance are on sale and available online now at: MorrisonCenter.com
