Dance Victoria will stage a live version of the seasonal favourite for the first time in three years this weekend.
Tickets: $61.50-$119 from the Royal McPherson box office or rmts.bc.caDance Victoria will stage a live version of the seasonal favourite for the first time in three years this weekend, which has audiences engaged.
The lead-up to Nutcracker weekend has been extra exciting for Jones, who joined Dance Victoria as executive director in July. Though she was raised in Victoria, the Claremont Secondary graduate spent the previous nine years at the Edmonds Center for the Arts in Washington State, where a touring production of the Christmas favourite was mounted on a much smaller scale each year.
“The scale of it, the sheer number of people in front of and behind the scenes, to put the production on the stage, is huge,” Jones said. The Nutcracker was revitalized in 1999 for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, with choreography from former Boshoi Ballet ballerina Galina Yordanova and Nina Menon of the National Arts Centre. That is the version that will be performed this weekend, with an extra element of intrigue as far as the young dancers are concerned.
