Show - the Nutcracker - Arts Ballet Theater December 12, 2009

The family, holiday tradition continues for the enjoyment of children and adults! This traditional ballet is performed every year by Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida to Tchaikovsky's popular score based on the tale of Ernest Hoffman. Not only it is the most popular ballet enjoyed by all audiences around the world during this time of the year but it also serves as an introduction to ballet to the very young audiences. Issaev's choreography preserves the Russian tradition with his version as an alternative to those who already have seen Balanchine's version.
