The 17th Annual Green Mountain Nutcracker at the Barre Opera House!
Experience the joy of one of Vermont’s most cherished traditions, The Green Mountain Nutcracker, a classic holiday story with an enchanting local twist. Now in its 17th year, this one-of-a-kind production features an all-ages, 68+ member cast of professional company dancers and scores of local students, all-original choreography, set to both Tchaikovsky’s familiar score and original music by Vermont musician, Colin McCaffrey, as well as a delightful array of locally-made sets and costumes.
Set in Vermont in the 1970s, this close-to-home rendition will transport you to a familiar-made-fantastical world. From the boisterous loggers to the Maple Sugar fairy, you’ll delight in the many colorful, local characters that give this interpretation its name. Make memories, and create your own annual tradition, with friends and family at one of Vermont’s most beloved holiday performances.
