"The Nutcracker" at Interlochen
The Nutcracker
Now an annual holiday tradition, the Interlochen Arts Academy Dance Division and Orchestra present Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker.
Immerse yourself in the holiday season as our high school students dance to and perform this classical holiday composition. Join us for the 90-minute production, which features professional set design and lighting, dramatic costumes, a live orchestra, and the chance to be swept away by holiday magic!
