The pitter-patter of little feet will be mostly missing from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's (RWB) Nutcracker when it returns to Ottawa on Friday after a two-year absence.
The Sugar Plum Fairy and Mouse King will take the stage at the National Arts Centre (NAC), but dozens of dancing polar bear cubs, prancing reindeer and angels — parts traditionally played by local kids — have been sidelined by COVID-19 safety precautions.
