Snowflakes. Sword fights. Dancing dolls. A Christmas tree that reaches the sky.
Choreography: Stanton Welch AM | Music: Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky
Stanton Welch’s opulent production of The Nutcracker is one of the most splendid ever staged. In this, the most traditional holiday tale, Clara and Drosselmeyer travel together to the Land of the Sweets where the Sugar Plum Fairy is reunited with her prince – and where the magic happens. With grand sets and stunning costumes, The Nutcracker features the entire company of dancers as well as many Houston Ballet Academy students playing hundreds of fun and exciting roles.
