Northwest Ballet Company brings back its holiday classic performance of “The Nutcracker Suite” this Thanksgiving.
The company had to take a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, and it is excited to be back for its 33rd year of live performance. Six performances of Tchaikovsky's 1982 composition "Nutcracker Suite" will take place at the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts over Thanksgiving weekend, Friday, Nov. 26, and Saturday, Nov. 27.
For the opening of the production this year, Northwest Ballet Company owner and Director Marisa Roth will tell the beloved tale to the audiences of the Flathead Valley.
"And, it won't disappoint," Roth said. "There's something in there for everyone!"
