The Nutcracker Tickets

Wonderful sets, dancing stellar and overall a not to be missed event! Hoping next year for a longer run!

Toronto International Ballet Theatre's Nutcracker was a splendid event with beautiful dancing, marvelous guest dancers & magical sets. This has become a Christmas tradition for us. Madame Stepanova has put on another wonderful production with great care & artistic brilliance. It makes our season bright! A definite 'must see' !

The show was put on so well! And I wish I could dance like those dancers. GR8 job!! Front row seats not to shabby either ;)

Amazing show! A true Christmas glow! Great choreography and excellent excecution! All performers made this production heartwarming and fun experience! Something to remember :)

First time ever seeing the Nutcracker (or any major ballet performance) and I was blown away by the quality of the performances from the dancers both young and old. It is a great production and will be a family Christmas tradition of mine for years to come.

I have seen many ballets and MANY different productions of the Nutcracker, this was by far the BEST!!! The version that was done was absolutely beautiful!! The costumes were stunning! And the dancers were stunning...I was in awe, I would definitely see it again.!

First off yes, it was a great show to see at Christmas. What I had expected to be the 'Nutcracker' was in fact a watered down children's production of a Canadian interpretation of the Nutcracker! I actually heard a woman in front and to the left of us state out loud that she hadn't realised that this wasn't the actual 'Nutcracker'. The title states THE NUTCRACKER a canadian tradition, which sounds like a description of the show being a solid part of our holiday tradition. I had no idea that this would be performed by local schoolkids! All in all the show was very entertaining. The first act was unexpectedly full of interpretive dance which is fine......if that's what you paid to see. I paid to see the ballet and this was really only the last 50 minutes of the show. All in all I might see it again, but at $208 for a pair of tickets I think it was overpriced by $40/ticket. I hope the producers clarify next time that this is NOT a true presentation of the Nutcracker but something more akin to a fun youthful remake with a Canadian twist.

They removed ALL the Christmas elements from the storyline! The Canadian 'twist' was stereotypical and borderline offensive with French trappers, dancing beavers and mounties and Group of Seven paintings. It felt like I was time warped back into a 1960's episode of The Forest Rangers.

Swayed too much from the traditional Nutcracker. Therefore, it was hard to follow. Beautiful costumes and dancing- just not what I expected.

I just assumed there would be an orchestra, not a recording. Although the ticket price was not terribly high and there was no indication in the advertising that there would be an orchestra, I was HUGELY disappointed to see no pit and crestfallen when asked to rise and sing O Canada to a recording. Great reimagining of the Nutcracker story, fresh, fun choreography, lovely costumes and scenic design, well thought out and executed. All to a recording. A good, well amplified recording. But a recording? So dissapointed.

Costumes were disappointing and it was not a spectacular production

This was the second time my daughter and I have seen this version, being The Canadian Tradition, and we absolutely loved it. I think it is much more interesting for children having most of the parts played by animals and birds instead of the traditional soldiers and ballerinas. The dance troupe is truly talented and the venue, Hamilton Place, is a perfect size. Hope they have this version next year.

Lots of dancing children and poor poor recorded music playing over an old crappy speaker.

Mesmerizing from beginning to end. Beautiful performances from the youngest children to the celebrated professionals. Bravo Goh Ballet!

We were disappointed at the music. It was not powerful. We could not feel it. The ballet shoes made noise on stage which took away from the performance. The sets were amateur and the choreography very simple. Did not get the feeling of the Nutcracker. It was like a recital.

I was with my 5 years old grandson and he wanted to stay till the end even it was past his bed time. We both liked the preformens very much.

really like how the talent of Goh Ballet students was displayed, there was no one dull moment. thank you for a great show!

WONDERFUL production. I love the multicultural cast. Beautiful costumes. Talented dancers. CUTEST mice ever.

The show was amazing...I highly recommend it! The dancers were so talented, the set and costumes were beautiful and the kids were so cute. Definitely a holiday classic not to be missed.

boring terrible sets waaayyyy overpriced my whole family wanted to leave after 1st intermission
