The National Ballet of Canada

The National Ballet of Canada has performed for over 50 years and over 10 million people in the heart of Toronto. The company performs works from both contemporary and classical masters and employs some of Canada's top-notch artists, dancers and musicians. Every holiday season (this year from December 12-January 4) it breaks out the Nutcracker, a beloved holiday tale that they perform flawlessly with 187 costumes in each performance. Come 45 minutes before for Nutcracker story time, to enhance children's experience of the ballet. It is a spectacle that will make you believe in holiday magic (or at least the Sugar Plum fairy).
