The Notara Dance Theatre presents the 2017 Nutcracker Ballet. The show, in its 34th year, features a group of professional ballet artists from New York City and many dancers from the local community.
This classical ballet is appropriate for all ages and has something for everyone. Tchaikovsky’s familiar holiday music will transport the audience to a magical land where everything is sweet, with the exception of the swashbuckling sword fight between the Mouse King and the Nutcracker. Impressive technical elements such as a Christmas tree that grows from 10 feet to 25 feet tall, expert lighting and special effects, and softly falling snow add to the allure of the ballet.
The exquisite Balanchine-style choreography, the professional dancers, and the local ballerinas directed by American Ballet Theater certified teacher, Mrs. Sally Notara, are what make this Nutcracker Ballet truly sparkle. From the reality of the glittering lights on the Christmas tree in the Stahlbaum’s parlor to the fantasy of the crystals on the tiara of the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Land of Sweets, this is one show that you will not want to miss. As the performance comes to an end, the Sugar Plum Fairy closes the book of dreams, and opens your heart to the magic of the holiday season.
The show is choreographed and directed by Sally Notara. Technical Director is Scott Mathiesen.
