From November 26 – December 26, 2010, Houston Ballet will bring Texas its most joyous holiday gift with its beloved production of Ben Stevenson's The Nutcracker. A wonderful ballet for the entire family, The Nutcracker is the perfect way to introduce young children to the power and beauty of classical dance.
Featuring glorious scenery and costumes by Tony Award-winning designer Desmond Heeley, Ben Stevenson's breathtaking production of The Nutcracker is, in the words of the Houston Chronicle, "the crown jewel of holiday entertainment." Oh, the wonder of it all. Living dolls. Dancing snowflakes. Cooks who fly through the Land of the Sweets. It’s The Nutcracker, in all its magical, colorful, holiday charm.
Set in nineteenth century Germany, the ballet opens at a charming Christmas party at which the mysterious Dr. Drosselmeyer gives his little niece Clara a magical toy that takes her on an unforgettable journey. From the Christmas tree that grows to a towering forty feet in the first act to the cooks who fly magically through the air in the second act, The Nutcracker is sure to enchant audiences of all ages.
It wouldn’t be the holidays without The Nutcracker.
