About

Opus Performing Arts — in collaboration with the Bellingham Symphony Orchestra — is proud to present four performances of The Nutcracker this holiday season. Step into the Stahlbaum family’s home and watch as Clara’s world transforms before your eyes to enter a magical wonderland of toy soldiers, a blizzard of snowflakes, a flock of marshmallow sheep, and many other delightful surprises! From the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to the audience favorite of Mother Ginger & her gingersnaps, this classical ballet, with a unique theatrical twist, continues to captivate Bellingham audiences year after year. Set to Tchaikovsky’s magical score, this celebrated story comes to life with beloved characters, intricate hand-made costumes, and over 130 dancers from the ballet school of Opus Performing Arts. The Nutcracker includes Opus’ youngest ballet students as cupcakes, peppermints, and other denizens of the Kingdom of Sweets, as well as their advanced dancers in the iconic roles of Nutcracker, Rat Queen, Peacock, and the Sugar Plum Fairy. Gather your friends and family and embark on a journey where bravery and imagination save the day!
