Minnesota’s Longest Running Holiday Event Returns
Loyce Houlton’s Nutcracker Fantasy continues its tradition of enchanting audiences for 48 years and remains one of Minnesota’s most treasured holiday events. The story begins at a Christmas party in 19th century Germany, and unfolds through the eyes of Marie. Her wizardly Godfather Drosselmayer weaves a magical fantasy, taking her on an extraordinary adventure to the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Experience the brilliant music of Tchaikovsky and the beautiful choreography of Loyce Houlton.
Loyce Houlton's Nutcracker Fantasy will be performed to pre-recorded music.
