About this event
An annual Christmas tradition in Edmonton, Shumka's Nutcracker blends the grace and lyricism of classical movement with the strength and power of Ukrainian character dance, leaving audiences exhilarated and entertained. The talented cast of over 70 features Shumka dancers, youth from the Shumka School of Dance, and the Clara's Dream Choir. Touted as "Canada's Ukrainian Nutcracker," the production is a folk ballet based on the timeless Christmas classic. The production incorporates Ukrainian traditions, character dance, grand orchestral versions of the legendary score with specially added compositions, and Ukrainian symbols woven into lavish sets and costumes. The performance is an emotional presentation of enchantment, embracing a classic tale of young Clara and her dream Prince. A holiday experience audiences will return to again and again. Nothing short of a revelation, Shumka's presentation is a holiday jewel! - Info Edmonton, December 2025
