Nutcracker
by Claude Caron
This magical ballet shines thanks to the use of digital imagery which allows us to follow Clara throughout her magical journey to the land of snow and the kingdom of sweets. More than 90 children and 30 professional artists come together on stage for this holiday classic that will delight the whole family.
When it comes to holiday tradition, nothing beats the magic of Nutcracker !
