“The Nutcracker,” brings magic to the Holiday Season with the beautiful dancing of the Alabama River Region Ballet, spectacular backdrops, gorgeous scenery and a growing Christmas tree. Set to the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and choreographed by Stevan Grebel, “The Nutcracker” ballet is a truly magical experience and a classic holiday favorite for the whole family!
Based on the original storybook written in 1816 by German author, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Act I of “The Nutcracker” opens with “The Party Scene,” taking place on Christmas Eve in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stahlbaum. There are many guests in attendance but none like the mysterious Drosselmeyer. He brings exciting and magical gifts for the children, the most magical one being The Nutcracker doll. The lucky little girl who he gives this to is his niece, Clara. Little does she know the magic and adventure that the Nutcracker doll will bring her. After the clock strikes midnight and all are asleep in the home, the thrilling “Battle Scene” ensues. The audience will be swept away with “Clara” on her magical journey to the “Kingdom of Snow '' and the “Land of Sweets.” She and the audience will be royally entertained by dancing snowflakes in an evergreen forest winter wonderland.
In Act II, “Clara” and “The Nutcracker Prince'' are fêted by “The Sugar Plum Fairy” and “Her Cavalier” and her entourage, who perform the famous “Nutcracker” divertissements, including “Flowers,” “Spanish,” “Chinese,” “Arabian,” “Candy Canes,” “Mirlitons,” and “Mother Ginger” and her adorable “Polichinelles.”
