THE NUTCRACKER BALLET – DANCE IT FORWARD
Join us this holiday season for a beautiful ballet danced to the timeless music of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. This year marks the 26th Anniversary of this production. Professional dancers will share the stage with York’s pre-professional regional youth ballet company, Greater York Youth Ballet.
The tale of The Nutcracker, written by E.T.A. Hoffman in 1816, has fascinated artists and audiences for decades.
The Nutcracker takes place in two acts and tells the story of a Christmas Eve in the 1800’s at the home of young Clara and her family, The Stahlbaum’s, during their holiday party. The mysterious magician Drosselmyer makes a surprise visit and presents Clara with a very unique Nutcracker doll. This begins the magical journey of Clara and her Nutcracker prince from an intense battle between toy soldiers and mice to the Kingdom of Snow and the Land of Sweets.
The traditional classical ballet will delight persons of all ages with its music, mystery and magic.
