The Nutcracker Fund offers a complete immersion in the show’s universe by allowing:

• A Nutcracker performance free of charge for 2,800 children who are sick, in difficulty or from a sensitive background

Each year, a free matinée performance of The Nutcracker is dedicated to 2,800 sick children from hospitals or foundations, as well as disadvantaged students selected by *Une école montréalaise pour tous *(Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur du Québec).

• Educational workshops offered to 1,500 among them

This year, the Fund offers four different educational workshops to 1,500 disadvantaged children:

Dance: a short choreography taught with some of Les Grands Ballets’ dancers, in our new studios, then performed as a flash mob in the corridors of Place des Arts, prior to the educational matinée performance
Animated Film: making of short animated films in stop-motion which will be screened on the TV screens of Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier (Place des Arts) during The Nutcracker
Costumes: making of costumes inspired by The Nutcracker characters, then exhibited at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier (Place des Arts) during The Nutcracker production
Visual Arts: production of printed canvas and 3D totems inspired by The Nutcracker characters, then exhibited at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier (Place des Arts) during The Nutcracker production

• Support to the annual refurbishing of The Nutcracker's costumes and sets, now in its 56th year!
