BRANDON, FL: Brandon Ballet will present three performances of your favorite holiday tradition, The Nutcracker. With choreography by Artistic Director, Doricha Sales, and the familiar music of Tchaikovsky, this ballet is not to be missed. Celebrating our Silver Season, this 25th annual production features talented professional, pre-professional and company dancers, lavish costumes and scenery, and an infectious score that will mesmerize children and adults alike.
The ballet tells the story of a little girl named Clara who, on Christmas Eve, receives a wonderful gift – a wooden toy nutcracker from her mysterious uncle Drosselmeyer. The toy leads Clara on a magical journey through an enchanted winter wonderland with dancing snowflakes and the elegant Snow Queen. Clara then travels to the Land of the Sweets where she meets the regal and majestic Sugar Plum Fairy, who takes her on a magical journey. The Nutcracker is a classic tale that has been dazzling audiences of all ages for years; a wonderful ballet for the entire family.
