SUMMARY:Canada's Ukrainian Nutcracker by Shumka
DESCRIPTION:An annual Christmas tradition\, Shumka’s Nutcracker blends the grace and lyrical nature of classical movement with the strength and power of Ukrainian character dance\, leaving audiences exhilarated and entertained. The cast of over 70 features Shumka dancers\, youth from the Shumka School of Dance\, and beautiful voices from Clara’s Dream Choir. \nShumka is excited to announce this year’s Nutcracker will feature the return of Shumka company members dancing the lead roles including Leda Tarnawsky (Clara)\, Nicolas Pacholok (Prince)\, Joshua Pacholok (Drosselmeier)\, and Annikka Dobko (Sugar Plum Fairy). This was always a dream for Shumka’s annual production and a triumphant success in 2025. \nTouted as “Canada’s Ukrainian Nutcracker\,” the production is a folk ballet based on the timeless Christmas classic. It incorporates Ukrainian traditions\, folk and character dance\, grand orchestral versions of the legendary score with specially added compositions\, Ukrainian carols and cultural symbols woven into lavish sets and costumes. \nNot only is Shumka’s Nutcracker a luxurious Christmas performance loved by all; it is also a truly collaborative work\, created by an ongoing partnership between Ukrainian and Canadian artists. Music arrangements are by Yuri Shevchenko of Ukraine\, choreography by Viktor Lytvynov of the National Ballet of Ukraine and former Shumka Artistic Director John Pichlyk. The production is under the direction of Shumka’s Artistic Director\, Tasha Orysiuk. Costumes and sets by Maria Levitska of the National Opera of Ukraine\, and lighting by Edmonton’s Jeff Osterlin. \nA holiday experience audiences will return to again and again. Nothing short of a revelation\, Shumka’s presentation is a holiday jewel! – Info Edmonton\, December 2025
