Carolina Ballet makes 'Nutcracker' feel new
Here at the Carolina Valley we are currently getting ready
for the greatest time of year when we present the
Nutcracker
Every year the Nutcracker is really a magical thing
The music itself is so ingrained in all of our
lives
It just is something that's so familiar
The Nutcracker is something that is really the gateway into
ballet for most folks
Carolina Ballet's production of The Nutcracker was recently revamped and
the reason we did it was because we thought that
we wanted something of a more relatable time that seemed
more familiar
So when we decided to do this new production we
thought that what was relatable was like a Norman Rockwell
Christmas
We really wanted to embrace the that time of year
We've gotten tremendous response with this production because I think
it is unique to our area
It's obviously unique it's the one of a kind production
most productions are but it it really relates to like
where we are in the country
It's inviting and it's relatable and
And also has um a sophistication I think about the
the looks that that speak to people who aren't necessarily
ballet
It's something that Creates tradition and family and community and
opportunity to gather around something that um just brings lots
of joy and magic and wonder
We would really love everyone to come join us at
the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts Raleigh Memorial
Auditorium is the hall that we perform out of
We open December 11th and we close Christmas Eve morning
There are 20 performances

friends and uh we really we would love to share
