It would be MBT 19th annual Nutcracker, and it is very sadness that our talented dancers cannot be on stage this weekends due to the unprecedented challenge of Covid-19.
In compliance with our Governor’s mandate to limit large gatherings, to prevent further spread of the coronavirus, Minnesota Ballet Theatre and School has postponed its The Nutcracker revenue generating event, and suspended operations of the Minnesota Ballet School and its arts education and community engagement programming.
The result is a crippling in lost revenue for the institution and like most non-profit organizations, we do not have the contingency funds for use in times of civil emergencies, such as this pandemic.
Now more than ever, we need your support. Please consider contributing, to help us during this critical time. Every contribution is significant in helping us to sustain operations, and deeply appreciated by everyone at MBS.
With your support, we will once again prevail during this precarious time.
We are thrilled to announce that Minnesota Ballet Theatre is providing an incredible opportunity for the students of Minnesota Ballet School to participate in the timeless classic, The Nutcracker. Auditions are open to children aged 5-19 who have a passion for dance and performing. Don't miss the chance to be a part of this beloved story ballet and showcase your talent on our prestigious stage! Join us for a memorable journey into the enchanting world of The Nutcracker!
The Nutcracker performances will be presented in adherence to public health guidelines, ensuring the safety and well-being of our audience and performers are scheduled to take place from December 15-17 at the beautiful Eden Prairie Performing Arts Center.
