Why see The Nutcracker?
One Of The Best Holiday Shows
The Nutcracker is one of the country's favorite Christmas events, and one of the most performed ballets in the world with productions taking place each Christmas in London, New York City and right here!
The story of The Nutcracker was originally written by E.T.A. Hoffmann, however, the beautiful score which accompanies this world-famous ballet was created by Tchaikovsky and received its debut over 100 years ago in 1892. An evening spent at a performance of this enchanting Holiday classic by your local ballet company is the perfect way to welcome in Christmas with the whole family!
What Is The Nutcracker About?
One snowy Christmas Eve, at a great townhouse where a party is in full swing, local magician Herr Drosselmeyer arrives with gifts for the children, including a wooden nutcracker for Clara, the oldest child. When the clock strikes twelve an adventure begins and the Nutcracker comes to life, leading our heroine Clara into a war between mice and tin soldiers, and into the enchanted Land of Sweets where a festival awaits them.

Sensually seductive flow throughout their performance had me on the edge wanting more. I
hope to see more from these two. My third mention to such a graceful Clara (Hideko
Karasawa). You dance beautifully. I look forward to you in many more productions from the
Ballet of Memphis. The Nutcracker (John Deming). I had to mention you with Clara & rightly
so. The elegant gracefulness becoming The Prince was enough of a stand & applause right
then and there. My fourth mention The Russians (Brandon Ramey, Jared Brunson, James
Vessel) Amazingly tantalizing power jumps sheer power of this group of men.My fifth mention
Last but for sure not least, The Sugar Plum Fairy (Crystal Brothers). To your stage presence
delicately graceful . I'm not sure if I heard your toe shoes tap the floor once. Eloquently
exquisite. ... Read more
