MORE DETAILS
“The Nutcracker,” a colorful, whimsical and romantic two-act ballet, tells the story of young Clara journeying through a magical land.
The work premiered in Saint Petersburg, Russia in 1892 choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov with a glorious score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The libretto is adapted from E.T.A. Hoffmann’s 1816 short story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.”
Dayton Ballet Artistic Director Brandon Ragland’s dynamic, Dayton-centric reimagining of “The Nutcracker” had its world premiere last year.
