Twin Cities Ballet’s annual production of A Minnesota Nutcracker has been a beloved holiday tradition in the South Metro since its inaugural performances in 2003, and this year it comes to Northrop!

Experience the beloved holiday classic with a Minnesota twist, which maintains the essential traditions, story, and music beloved by so many, but adds Minnesota flair, brought to life by the powerful athleticism and artistry of TCB’s dancers.

Clara encounters iconic Minnesota characters and locations on her magical journey: the State Capitol’s Golden Horses, Cascading Waters, tiny Bluegill fish frolicking by a Mississippi River Paddleboat, and, new this year, Vikings, and Minnesota’s state bird and flower, the Loon and Ladyslipper.

Deemed one of the twelve essential holiday events by MPR, TCB’s A Minnesota Nutcracker is delightful entertainment for the whole family!

For this 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.”
