The Nutcracker
Dec. 21–22 @ Classic Center
From Disney’s animated Fantasia in 1940 to last year’s live action The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, The Nutcracker is a treasured holiday fairy tale that has permeated pop culture for over a century. From Ukraine, the National Ballet Theatre of Odessa presents the perennial favorite using the original choreography popularized by Moscow’s Bolshoi Ballet. Set to Tchaikovsky’s famous compositions, the acts interpret “March of the Toy Soldiers,” “Waltz of the Flowers” and “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” to tell the story of a young girl’s adventure alongside an animated nutcracker in battle against an army of mice and into the Land of Sweets.
