A Christmas Carol
Please note: this performance is currently waitlist only.
A miserly and miserable man, Ebenezer Scrooge greets each Christmas with “Bah! Humbug!” until he is visited one Christmas Eve by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future. In Charles Dickens’ beloved classic, the three spirits show Scrooge happy memories from his past, difficult realities from the present and a grim future should he continue his closed-hearted ways. Throughout his journey, Scrooge is forced to reckon with the man he has become and contemplate the man he could be — but only if his restless night leads to a change of heart by morning. The Guthrie’s cherished tradition celebrates its 50th year and continues to delight audiences of all ages this holiday season.

A Christmas Carol
NOTE: This show is currently waitlist only.
Come see a daring, provocative and exuberantly entertaining production of Cabaret that explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich.
Inspired by Christopher Isherwood’s “Berlin Stories,” Cabaret probes the seductive life of a Bohemian Berlin dancing in the shadow of creeping authoritarianism and asks the question, “What would you do?”
Filled with iconic songs and dances, this production encapsulates social, cultural and political issues that we still face today.
“Come to the Cabaret – where life is beautiful, the girls are beautiful, even the orchestra is beautiful…”

A Christmas Carol
Featuring Alarm Will Sound; composers Devonté Hynes, Arooj Aftab, Daniel Wohl and Rafiq Bhatia; and filmmakers Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Josephine Decker, Mati Diop, and Manon Lutanie
An ongoing Liquid Music series, Sun Dogs brings together inspired composer and filmmaker pairs to create short-format films with new music for live orchestra, exploring how stories can be told (both musically and visually) from equal footing. These singular films are accompanied by the “unusually versatile, reliably exhilarating new-music ensemble” (The New York Times) Alarm Will Sound, with newly-arranged scores for the group. An atmospheric phenomenon created by refracted light, a sun dog is striking proof that, when natural conditions are right, familiar elements can shift the way we see the world. The series’ prismatic collaborations similarly allow us glimpses at another realm.

Northrop-commissioned prelude for organ, electronics, and sampled vocals by Daniel Wohl
On Blue by composer Rafiq Bhatia and filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul

A Christmas Carol
“Dance that inspires, challenges, and entertains . . . from a variety of Minnesota choreographers and companies.” —Star Tribune
Now in its 52nd year, this annual dance showcase celebrates Minnesota’s vibrant and diverse dance community. Powerful performances by a roster of local choreographers and movement artists will draw from Audre Lorde’s writing on the necessity of creative practice. The intention comes from this year’s curator jess pretty, returning to the Walker following her 2019 appearance in Claudia Rankine and Will Rawl’s What Remains. Through Lorde’s writing, the performers will reflect on art-making as a means of tending to the self and to others.
“I am grateful for the invitation to curate the 52nd annual Choreographers’ Evening at the Walker. I am moved by work that considers pleasure, joy, memory, archive, liberation, risk, vulnerability, reorientation, and transformation.”
