By popular demand, Twin Cities Ballet's (TCB) acclaimed A Minnesota Nutcracker returns to Northrop! Experience the beloved holiday classic with a Minnesota twist. TCB's A Minnesota Nutcracker maintains the essential traditions, story, and music cherished by so many—but adds Minnesota flair, brought to life by the powerful athleticism and artistry of Twin Cities Ballet’s dancers.
Clara encounters iconic Minnesota characters and locations on her magical journey: the state Capitol’s golden horses, falling waters, tiny bluegill fish frolicking by a Mississippi River paddleboat, Vikings, and Minnesota’s state bird and flower, the loon and lady’s slipper.
Deemed “one of the twelve essential holiday events” by Minnesota Public Radio, TCB's A Minnesota Nutcracker is delightful entertainment for the whole family!
Relaxed Performance (Dec 16): During a relaxed performance, house lights will remain at a glow, sound levels will be lowered, and the audience will be warned of any surprises. Attendees can come and go as needed, assisted by ushers trained to accommodate movement and sound. This performance is “Pick Your Price.”
