Michigan Ballet Theatre - The Nutcracker

Sunday, Dec 20, 5:30 PM

Michigan Ballet Theatre is pleased to present the legendary Christmas classic The Nutcracker on December 20 at the beautiful Emerald Theatre in downtown Mount Clemens. This beloved holiday ballet, with music by Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky, is the highlight of Michigan Ballet Theatre's season and promises to delight audiences of all ages. The story of The Nutcracker recreates the Christmas Eve dream of a young girl named Clara and her vivid fantasies of a Nutcracker Prince, an evil Mouse King, a Sugar Plum Fairy and her magical Kingdom of Sweets. The production comes complete with an elegant Christmas party, the mysterious magical guest Herr Drosselmeyer, and the drama of Clara's brave rescue of the Nutcracker Prince as he duels and defeats the evil Mouse King. The story then unfolds with an invitation to a faraway fantasy in the Kingdom of Sweets, with Spanish dancers depicting the richest chocolate, Arabian dancers symbolizing exotic coffee, tangy tea from China represented by a charming silk-garbed oriental trio and waltzing flowers that culminate with visions of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier. This beautiful holiday extravaganza is chock-full of surprises and spectacular special effects, including a sky-scraping Christmas tree, swirling snow, dangling sweets, and a magnificent Mother Ginger accompanied by her twelve delightful helpers. These enchanting elements are brought to life with captivating costumes, beautiful choreography, and stunning presentation, promising to dazzle and delight your senses while surrounding you with all the magic and wonder of the holiday season.
