A Christmas Story

By Philip Grecian, based on the motion picture A
Christmas Story.

growing up in the midwest in the 1940s

The glorious music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is brought to life in this beautiful
production presented by the Dubuque
City Youth Ballet. A highlight of the holiday
season for decades, The Nutcracker Ballet
is a must-see for young and old alike. It is
Christmas Eve, and Clara’s Godmother tells
the story of a Prince who was transformed
into a wooden nutcracker by an evil rat.
That night Clara dreams of magical lands
both beautiful and frightening. Visit TheGrandOperaHouse.com.
