鈥淚 am so happy to bring The Nutcracker back to the Betty Leeth Haynes Theatre as a live show,鈥� said Desno毛s. 鈥淭his year鈥檚
production is a partnership between the 糖心视频 Allegro Dance Theatre and the newly-formed
Ballet South, and also features over 25 community cast members.鈥�
The Nutcracker - Clara鈥檚 Dream spotlights segments of the 1892 ballet which feature Clara, the daughter in a family
that gathers with friends on Christmas Eve. She is gifted a Nutcracker which proves
to have magical powers that transport her on adventures with the Mouse King, toy soldiers,
the Sugarplum Fairy, an Arabian Princess and more.
鈥淭he audience can expect beautiful dancing, digital projections, live music, new costumes
and a lot of happy energy on the stage,鈥� Desno毛s said. 鈥淭here really is not a better
way to usher in the holidays than a magical Nutcracker performance. Our presentation is family friendly and is about 50 minutes in length
and great for all ages.鈥�
