Press Release
Following two triumphant years on the SPAC stage, Portland Ballet is back with the cherished holiday favorite, “A Victorian Nutcracker.” Performances start at 2 and 7 pm Saturday, Dec. 9.
Suitable for all ages, this enchanting performance brings to life the timeless tale of a young girl’s dream on Christmas Eve, ignited by the magical gift of a mysterious nutcracker. Whether you’ve seen it once or many times, “A Victorian Nutcracker” is an experience that never loses its enchantment. Set to Tchaikovsky’s immortal score, this production weaves in characters from Portland’s history. Witness delightful clashes between toy soldiers and the Mouse King’s army, journey through the Land of Sweets, and encounter the Sugar Plum Fairy.
Following these performances, the production transfers to Portland. This is your opportunity to experience the same big-city show at the SPAC, but without the big-city hassles. Make Portland Ballet’s “A Victorian Nutcracker” a Sanford holiday tradition for your friends and family.
