Synopsis: The Smith Family Conservatory Dance Department is please to open our Christmas season with 3 performances of The Nutcracker. This traditional Classical ballet will feature conservatory dancers from 4th to 12th grade.
The Nutcracker production to Tchaikovsky music is based on the story written by E.T.A Hoffman although what is seen on stage today is different in detail from the original story, the basic plot remains the same. When Marius Petipa had the idea to choreograph the story into a ballet, it was based on a revision by Alexander Dumas, a well-known French author. His version reflects more of what we have come to love as the Nutcracker Ballet.
This two Act ballet about a young girl named Clara who befriends a nutcracker toy that comes to life on Christmas Eve and wages a battle against the evil mouse king. After the battle, the nutcracker reveals himself as a young prince that takes Clara to the Land of sweets through a journey filled with adventure and fantasy.
