Goh Ballet Tickets

Having seen more Nutcrackers than I can recall over the years, I was pleasantly surprised by this production. The staging is straightforward and takes no risks, but the dancers were well-rehearsed, the choreography generally polished, and Clara was surprisingly good considering her youth. The orchestra was a bit thin, under-rehearsed and poorly miked, and the dry acoustics of the theatre didn't help, but Tchaikovsky's remarkable score managed to survive more or less intact. It was generally a pleasant, if overpriced, evening.

The play was very good and the dancers were very talented.

The principal dancers wereabsoluely amazing . The children were also great as were the rest of the dancers. However the principal dancers blew us away with their skill and grace.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I took my Mom to see this ballet. I was mesmerized from beginning to end. It was over much too soon.

A brilliant performance by all! The most enjoyable production of the Nutcracker that Vancouver has ever seen!

Overall, this was a top quality performance. Excellent choreography which cleverly incorporated the children of all ages. It was highly entertaining. In fact, the stars of Pacific Northwest Ballet weren't even necessary.....those talented children stole the show!

What a dazzling and delightful performance! This ballet was filled with humour, colour, magic and shimmering costumes. From the scampering calvary of mice to the twinkling delicate sugar plum fairies, the dancing was enchanting and breathtaking. We loved every minute of this show and hope it will become an annual Christmas tradition for our family.

It was a delight. A great combination of fun and professionalism. By far, the most entertaining out of the 6 I have been to in the past.

We attended the matinee with our 3 year old grandaughter and she was enchanted.

Excellent show great for kids but also the dancers were technically brilliant

My first time at a "proper" ballet did not disappoint. The dancers, costumes, sets and music were all beautiful, and I was mesmerised from beginning to end. We left feeling up-lifted and "Christmassy" , and will certainly make it a Christmas tradition for our family. The professional production is a credit to Vancouver's arts scene.

Watching The Goh Ballet's Nutcracker was a break from leaden day-to-day living. The sets were other-worldly wonderful, the action non-stop, the dancing invigorating, the costumes fairy-like, the magic tricks spell-binding and the music lyrical. The mix of ages of dancers added depth to the performance. The children were lovable. I've seen the Nutcracker a few times and this was the most captivating performance so far.

Loved it! I've been to many other performances but this one topped them all.

This was my first time seeing Nutcracker and my friend was in it, I thought it was great and very pretty costumes.

Fantastic performance. First time ever seeing the Nutcracker or a ballet. Venue was great as well.

I had enjoyed watching The Nutcracker this year. Act 1 was enjoyable, the party girls & boys are amazing. The battle scene was funny. Act 2, the Russian dancers "cheers!!" and Mother Ginger you can't miss!! I turned into a little girl as I watched the guest "Principal" dancers perform. The Magician & Clara made the show come to life. I will see again next year.

Wonderful! Lots of participation from children. Really good children's ballet. Our friends were worried that their 6 year old son would be fidgety and they would have to leave part way through. But, their son was on the edge of his seat throughout. Really enjoyed his first ballet. The costumes, dancing, set, and pace of the Goh Nutcracker made it one of the most enjoyable Nutcrackers we have seen.

This is my third time seeing the Nutcracker and this was by far the best production.

While the costumes, colours, and music were excellent, this performance was lacking. As an avid Nutcracker fan, seeing over 30 performances, this was average. Last year's performance was done much better. Rearranging the plot was not done successfully, one of the main dancers fell.. timing was off. They just seemed rushed and unprepared.

Well worth the money! Even better than I remember it as a young girl.
