Ballet Idaho has announced the return of The Nutcracker from Friday, November 26 through Sunday, December 5.

There’s a reason attending this performance during the holidays is a memory for all generations.    Kids and kids at heart are enraptured by the magical transformation of the Nutcracker Prince, Clara’s adventure to the Land of Sweets, and the wonder of playful mice, toy soldiers, dancing snowflakes, and the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Children from Ballet Idaho Academy will be performing with professional company members.  Opera Idaho’s children’s choir will join the Boise Phil orchestra to provide live musical accompaniment of Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score.  This is an annual tradition that is not to be missed!

General show information and a full list of performance times can be found at: BalletIdaho.org
