The Nutcracker at Northshore Performing Arts Center in Bothell

Nutcracker in Bothell

Emerald Ballet Theatre's (EBT) The Nutcracker returns to the Northshore Performing Arts Center for its eighth season, with a full-length production featuring a live orchestra, gorgeous costumes, lavish sets and exquisite choreography in the Russian tradition.

Lead roles are danced by EBT students, joined by regional professionals and over 160 Emerald Ballet Academy (EBA) students, ages 6- 17.

All performances feature the Rainier Symphony Ballet Orchestra, with David Waltman conducting. 

It's a collaboration that EBT's Artistic Director Viktoria Titova is both proud of and grateful for. "We're the only Eastside Nutcracker that can boast a live orchestra. It truly elevates our production, inspiring our dancers and audience members alike!"
