Audiences are sure to enjoy this classic winter ballet with a unique theatrical twist. "The Nutcracker" will feature OPUS’ younger ballet students as cupcakes, peppermints, gingersnaps and other denizens of the Kingdom of Sweets, as well as their advanced dancers in the iconic roles of Dewdrop, Nutcracker Prince, Snow Queen and the Sugar Plum Fairy. This exciting performance is appropriate for all ages and will include many new surprises in addition to favorite audience moments. Performances of OPUS’ Nutcracker will be available for viewing either in-person at the Mount Baker Theatre (proof of vaccination or a negative test for ages 12+ required) or by live streaming the performance for at-home viewing. For tickets and more information, visit mountbakertheatre.com. "In the last two years, OPUS students kept up their training through classes over zoom. It’s been a challenging two years and we are beyond excited to celebrate OPUS’ return to the stage. We have missed the thrill of performing for a live audience and sharing our love of dance with the community. We welcome you back to the theatre for this holiday classic” - Brooke Evans, Artistic Director, OPUS "This is a truly unique approach to The Nutcracker for our Bellingham audience. We lead our students in discovering new skills through the process and ultimately deliver an unforgettable rendition of a classic tale." - Ian Bivins, Co-Director

The Grammy-winning Punch Brothers consists of mandolinist Chris Thile, guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Paul Kowert, banjoist Noam Pikelny, and violinist Gabe Witcher. The band's accolades include a Grammy for best folk album for their 2018 release All Ashore, and praise from national media. In November of 2020, when the world felt so full of uncertainty, Punch Brothers did one thing that they could rely on: they stood in a circle, facing one another, and made music together. A weeklong recording session, after quarantining and little rehearsal outside of a few Zoom calls, had culminated in their new record, Hell on Church Street—a reimagining of Bluegrass great Tony Rice’s landmark album, Church Street Blues—out on Nonesuch in January 2022.
