The Nutcracker: Les Grands Ballets x Troisième Cercle
An evening at the ballet, the Troisième Cercle way
To close 2026, Troisième Cercle and Les Grands Ballets invite you to a private evening around The Nutcracker (Casse-Noisette), Montréal's most beloved holiday tradition. We start with a private cocktail in the Salon d'honneur, then take our seats for the performance. Members can also add on a VIP backstage visit after the show.
This event is open to both men and women

Choosing your seat
Parterre: The main floor of Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier. You sit closest to the stage, at eye level with the dancers, and see the most detail in the choreography and costumes.
Mezzanine: The elevated level above the parterre. Your view is raised and centred, so you see the whole stage at once, including the patterns and formations of the corps de ballet.
Both options include the private cocktail and intermission access to the Salon d'honneur.
Who we are
Troisième Cercle is a private members club for professional women who want deeper conversations, real connections, and thoughtfully curated experiences across the city.
