Once upon a time…
Nutcracker in the métro


Montréal, December 10, 2009
Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, in collaboration with the Société de transport de Montréal (STM), invites the young and the young at heart to relive their childhood by attending the reading of the story Casse-Noisette (The Nutcracker) by actor Jacques Piperni on Saturday, December 12, from 3:00 to 16:00 p.m., at the Berri-UQAM station.

By attending this reading, members of the audience will have a chance to win tickets to one of the presentations of this beloved holiday classic at Place des Arts from December 12 to 30, as well as copies of the book, Casse-Noisette, l’histoire d’un ballet by Sylvie Roberge.

The Société and Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal hope that many of you will come by to enjoy the reading and that it will tempt you to go and see this ballet of Hoffman’s tale, choreographed in 1964 by Fernand Nault to the ravishing music of Tchaikovsky.

The STM would like to remind its clientele that this event at the Berri-UQAM station is an ideal opportunity to take advantage of Family Outings. Thanks to this program, an adult presenting a transit fare valid within the STM’s network can travel with up to five children under the age of 12 at no extra cost on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
