The Nutcracker

Audiences across Fort Collins will be swept up in the magic of the season as Canyon Concert Ballet returns to the stage this December with the annual classic Christmas favorite, The Nutcracker - Performing with the Fort Collins Symphony. CCB will entertain communities across the region with this magical story. On Christmas Eve, young Clara falls asleep after the family Christmas party. As the clock strikes midnight, Clara is transported to a wonderful world where toys become larger than life, her beloved Nutcracker defends her from the evil Mouse King, and stunning Snowflakes dance delicately. A joyous explosion of color, set to Tchaikovsky’s inspired score, Canyon Concert Ballet’s The Nutcracker is sure to enchant audiences both young and old..
