The Nutcracker December 13, 2009

Join Clara and the Nutcracker Prince in their journey through the magical land of dreams! As the Silberhaus family Christmas tree grows, toys come to life and swirling snowflakes give way to delectable confections.

The whole family is sure to be entertained by mischievous marzipan lambs, chocolate that dances with a Spanish flair and tea that takes the form of a 50-foot Chinese dragon.

This season, Richmond Ballet’s production of E.T.A Hoffmann’s time-honored holiday treat will make the anticipated return to the newly renovated Carpenter Theatre at Richmond CenterStage. With Tchaikovsky’s lively score performed by Richmond Symphony, The Nutcracker will sweep you into the land of enchantment and is sure to leave you with “visions of sugarplums” long after the curtain falls.
