Step into the magic of the season with Ballet Jörgen’s The Nutcracker: A Canadian Tradition at the FirstOntario Concert Hall. 

This holiday classic, set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, is reimagined with stunning Canadian landscapes, over 100 dazzling costumes, and a cast of snowflakes, lumberjacks, Mounties, and woodland creatures. With backdrops inspired by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, the show has a uniquely Canadian feel. This is a holiday must-see for all ages.
