Veronica Tennant, Principal Dancer with The National Ballet of Canada, has won accolades in every major classical role as a dancer of extraordinary versatility and dramatic power. She has danced The Nutcracker on stages across North America and Europe both with her own company and as a guest artist. In her captivating version of The Nutcracker, she has blended the familiar with her own fantasy to create a uniquely beautiful rendering of this enduring classic. The balletic dimension enlivens her writing, for as Tennant says, "The Nutcracker lives with the freshness of tradition. On paper, just as on stage, Tschaikovsky's glorious music was always my source and my guide." Illustrations for this unique version of The Nutcracker have been brilliantly created by celebrated artist, Toller Cranston.
