Help us create an all-new production with new sets, new costumes, and new choreography.
Every gift brings us closer to opening night.
Victoria Ballet Theatre's Nutcracker at the Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts has become a beloved holiday tradition. Families return year after year to share the magic of The Nutcracker. Now, we're taking that magic to new heights.
For the December 2026 production, The Nutcracker is moving to the Victoria Fine Arts Center, a stunning venue with three times the seating capacity. That means more families experiencing the wonder. More children seeing their first ballet. More memories made together.
But a new stage demands a new vision. We're creating an entirely new production with original choreography, breathtaking sets, and beautiful costumes designed specifically for this space. This is our chance to reimagine a classic for the next generation.
We can't do it without you.
The sets, costumes, and production elements needed to bring this vision to life require significant investment. Your gift today helps ensure this new Nutcracker becomes everything our community deserves.
