The Nutcracker

About this event

Opus Performing Arts – in collaboration with the Bellingham Symphony

Orchestra – is proud to present four performances of The

Nutcracker this holiday season: Friday November 27 at 7pm,

Saturday November 28 at 1pm and 7pm, and Sunday November 29 at 1pm

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 150 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, Snow 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 again 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.
