HOUGHTON -- The snowflakes, the beloved Christmas music, the magical tale: Come to the Rozsa Center to experience the timeless Christmas tradition that is the Nutcracker ballet!

Filled with mischievous mice, twirling treats, and shimmering snowflakes, the tale of Clara and her Nutcracker prince promises special Christmas memories. Aspiring young dancers from many area schools have also been training and rehearsing for their upcoming performances of The Nutcracker. There will be a pre-performance interview in the Rozsa Lobby with Conductor Joel Neves and the dancers and director of the Minnesota Ballet each night!
