Performance: The Nutcracker Ballet in the Land of Enchantment
Festival Ballet Albuquerque under the direction of Patricia Dickinson Wells presents The Nutcracker Ballet, a beloved holiday tradition coming to life in the late 1800s in territorial New Mexico. Resplendent with New Mexico heritage and traditions while maintaining the classical grace of its origins, The Nutcracker Ballet in the Land of Enchantment is the perfect holiday treat for the whole family! Based on the E. T. A. Hoffmann story, this Nutcracker Ballet is classical yet originally clever, with lavish costumes, beautiful sets and exquisite professional dancing that will bring Maria's dream to life and delight children of all ages! Live music of the original Tchaikovsky score will be played by the Figueroa Project led by Maestro Guillermo Figueroa.
