Following multiple years on hiatus due to the pandemic, Oregon International Ballet Academy revives its highly acclaimed Nutcracker production! OIBA’s Nutcracker offers a unique and seamless integration of charming and joyful performances by student dancers with stunning appearances from the school’s top performers and surprise guest artists. The result is a high-quality, cohesive, and exhilarating experience that delivers a heaping portion of holiday magic!
This year’s Nutcracker production brings exciting guest artists from Los Angeles and Japan to Portland, providing OIBA students with an enriching collaborative experience. Student dancers from Casa de Arte, a celebrated dance and performance studio in Kumamoto, Japan, will dance side-by-side with OIBA students, and young Japanese star Tango Hayato Fujita-Gomez will dance the role of the Nutcracker prince.
