Alberta's Ukrainian Nutcracker
The Ukrainian Shumka Dancers, Edmonton's Citie Ballet, Viter Ukrainian Folk Choir and Ukraine's Virsky and Kyiv Ballet join forces for the Nutcracker.
Shumka's Nutcracker is the only Ukrainian folk ballet representation of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker. Given the famous composer's Ukrainian heritage, the production incorporates Ukrainian Christmas traditions, folk and character dance, a grand orchestral version of Shchedryk (Carol of the Bells), and Ukrainian symbols woven into the lavish sets and costumes.www.shumka.com
