The Nutcracker
In this episode of “The Nutcracker: Home for the Holidays” we explore the larger than life elements designed specifically for the Vegas stage.
The premiere episode of “The Nutcracker: Home for the Holidays” introduces the story like you’ve never seen it before.
No one’s surprised to hear Tchaikovsky’s music at the ballet. After all, his works include the scores to the classics “Swan Lake” and “The Nutcracker.”
There’s a sigh of relief at the Las Vegas Ballet Company. Performers had a full rehearsal schedule before this month’s show, something it wasn’t able to do for its last performance because of an increase in rental fees for Las Vegas-Clark County Library District facilities.
It’s a gift, to be sure – but one so resplendently wrapped that the contents can’t possibly compete with the elaborate exterior packaging.
It just wouldn’t be Christmas without “The Nutcracker.” Not for the audiences who have made the ballet a holiday staple. And certainly not for the ballet companies that stage it
The Nevada Ballet Theatre is scheduled to perform “The Nutcracker” for the first time in The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, 361 Symphony Park Ave., at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 15.
