Delightful, inventive new-look Nutcracker

REVIEW

Alberta Ballet's The Nutcracker, with the Victoria Symphony
Rating: Four stars (out of five)

Alberta Ballet has torn away all the old packaging, tossed the faded ribbons, and re-wrapped this charming classic in a delightful new party box.

Alberta Ballet's The Nutcracker now features $1.5 million in sumptuous sets and costumes by New York's brimmingly inventive Zack Brown and all the choreography — created by the talented Edmund Stripe — is brand new too, except for a single solo between the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier.
