THE NUTCRACKER CHARLOTTE'S HOLIDAY TRADITION
The Charlotte Youth Ballet brings to the stage its 36th annual holiday classic
production of Tchaikosvky's The Nutcracker featuring the choreography of Charlotte legend Gay Porter and Bridget Young.
The story opens as the Stahlbaum family welcomes friends
and family to their annual Christmas gala. Their grand home is adorned with festive decorations, at the center of which is a spectacular Christmas tree. When the mysterious Dr.
Drosselmeyer arrives baring gifts, all the children are enchanted by the mechanical Nutcracker that he gives to young Clara. Fritz, in a fit of jealousy, grabs the Nutcracker from his
sister and as it crashes to the floor… the magic begins!
