Christmas traditions start with 'The Nutcracker'
Bonner County Daily Bee | UPDATED 9 years, 9 months AGO
The perfect start to the Christmas season is Pend Oreille Arts Council’s presentation of Eugene Ballet’s The Nutcracker. What’s more exciting than seeing a professional dance troupe paired with twenty of our own local dancers? What’s more fun than meeting the Mouse King? Or better yet, Sugar Plum Fairy? Nothing!
The score was written by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1892, but has retained its timelessness and beauty. The story about a young girl’s wooden nutcracker turning into a handsome prince and taking her on a holiday extravaganza remains as energy-filled and enchanting as it did over 100 years ago.
The one night performance will be held on Monday, Dec. 12 at the Panida at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The entire family will enjoy this fantasy trip to The Land of Sweets filled with breathtaking costumes, energetic dancing and an abundance of delightful surprises.
Tickets cost $30 for adults, $25 for POAC supporters and $12 for children 18 years old and younger. They can be purchased at POAC Gallery and Office, 302 N.
