Join Provo and the Covey Arts Center for the Utah Metropolitan Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker, a wonderful holiday tradition in Utah Valley for over 20 years!
Join the Cache Valley Civic Ballet in presenting the enchanted Christmas story by E.T. Hoffman. This production has become a family holiday tradition. Audiences will be delighted by the colorful scenery, beautiful costumes, enthusiastic performances by the dancers, and of course, the wonderful music of Tchaikovsky.
The story centers around Clara, the young girl whose fantasy dream makes the Christmas tree grow larger than one could imagine, brings toy presents and soldiers to life, and warms our hearts with the beauty of her candy land filled with mystical characters and a Sugar Plum Fairy.
This annual showcase includes performances by Ballroom Dance Company, Contemporary Dance Theatre, International Folk Dance, Living Legends, Theatre Ballet, and the Young Ambassadors.
Two lost children would be a tasty treat for the evil Witch, but Hansel and Gretel are too clever to be served as dinner. Grimm’s timeless fairy tale comes alive with glorious music, an eerie forest, and mystical woodland creatures.
Perfect date night activity! Couples and singles welcome.
