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.

"Musical instruments in the orchestral accompaniment represent each character in the ballet; narration throughout the performance helps the audience follow the story. The narrative assists even the youngest audience members in appreciating the delightful dances of Peter, Bird, Cat, Duck, Wolf and even Grandfather."

Les Sylphides (Chopiniana)
Originally entitled Chopiniana, this ballet was first premiered in St. Petersburg in 1907 at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg
Restructured and presented in the first 1909 Ballets Russes season in Paris under Diaghilev's title, Les Sylphides, Fokine created this dance suite unifying music and movement in an implied drama of Romanticism. Les Sylphides is famous as the first "abstract" classical ballet without narrative structure or defined characters.
