Join us for Maine Homeschool Field Trips' Annual trip to the Victorian Nutcracker!

THE VICTORIAN NUTCRACKER

“A Victorian Nutcracker is a retelling of the classic story of a young girl’s Christmas Eve dream, brought on by a curious gift of a nutcracker, in which she travels to the Sugar Plum Fairy’s Land of the Sweets. This version is unique to Portland and its history, as the first act takes place in the Victoria Mansion with characters pulled directly from Portland’s past. Performances at Merrill Auditorium will feature the Portland Ballet Orchestra. https://www.portlandballet.org/vicnut24/

This annual production has become a Maine holiday tradition and a family favorite. Over 80 children from the greater Portland community will join the company dancers onstage for a magical show! This is the full-length dress rehearsal performance of the Victorian Nutcracker ballet that is open to school groups. There will be a live orchestra this year!
