The beloved family tradition is back: NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet! The story follows Clara through the Snow Forest to the Land of Peace and Harmony, featuring the classic life-sized Kissy Doll, fierce red-eyed Rat King, and the Slavic Troika Sleigh. There she encounters 10-foot-tall puppets, exotic flying birds, and dancing couples from five great heritages of the world. Impressive acrobatics integrated into classical ballet make the production fresh and new.
NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet features award-winning Principal Ballerinas and Danseurs from the top ballet academies of 11+ ballet capitals spanning Eastern Europe and Asia and a large corps de ballet. Two groups travel simultaneously to 80+ cities across the US and in Canada in November and December. NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet is the most significant touring production of its kind and the only nationally touring Nutcracker production, acclaimed for its exquisite Dove of Peace adagio and unique setting of Act II in the Land of Peace and Harmony. New and returning audiences will love the world-class dancers, acrobats, dramatic storytelling, and visually stunning larger-than-life puppets. Exclusive to the show are a flock of white doves and a cadre of delicate marionettes crafted by Master Puppeteers in the World UNESCO Heritage city of Prague, Czech Republic.
In addition to the production of NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet and other classic ballet performances, Talmi Entertainment advocates for community engagement in the arts and sends advanced dancers to tour cities. These dancers conduct auditions for local ballet students to participate in the performances. (Click Dance-with-Us for more information on this program.)
