This year Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker is streaming in Edmonton, directly to your living room! In a regular year Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker is performed at the Horowitz Theatre. Every seat in the house at the Horowitz Theatre provides a close, intimate view of the performers on stage. This 720-seat concert hall features a comfortable setting and an inviting atmosphere where patrons can truly enjoy the fine and performing arts. The Horowitz Theatre is conveniently located in the Students' Union Building on the University of Alberta campus, has two covered parkades, direct access via the Edmonton public transit system, and many restaurants and amenities nearby.

Nutcracker wouldn’t be Nutcracker without the local Children’s cast! Dancing along side the full professional Russian cast are local Edmonton children from Dance Theatre Performing Arts Centre. Dance Theatre Performing Arts Centre is a Performing Arts School that offers children and adult classes in dance, drama, and voice. Although taught separately, all classes are inter-related and culminate in a full musical theatre production at the end of the season. Classes are taught by highly qualified and experienced instructors and performers in the disciplines offered. Class sizes are small (maximum of 10 students) with two staff members present at all times. Dance Theatre strives to offer an inclusive program where students of all ages, levels and abilities are welcome. It is their goal to foster a lifelong love and appreciation of the performing arts in each of our students.
