Join us for Maine Homeschool Field Trips' Annual trip to the Victorian Nutcracker!
THE VICTORIAN NUTCRACKER
“A Victorian Nutcracker” is set in Portland in the late 1800s, with the party scene set in the parlor of the Victoria Mansion on Danforth Street, and snow scenes set in Deering Oaks. The local party scene’s decor is modeled after the furnishings at the mansion, which was built in the 1850s and is open to the public. Characters in “The Victorian Nutcracker” are named for real Portland people who lived in the late 1800s. Ruggles Morse, who built Victoria Mansion, is the party host in the production. His niece, Olivia Higgins, is the girl who gets the nutcracker as a present. In most productions, including the Maine State Ballet’s, the little girl is called Clara. https://www.portlandballet.org/vicnut23/
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!
