Nutcracker ALL NEW FOR 2008!

Choreography Paul Vasterling
Music Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Tennessee is on the cusp of its grand International Centennial Exhibition and the world is on the verge of an exhilarating new era - the twentieth century!Ê Nashville Ballet's grand, all-new Nutcracker charmingly recreates this beloved holiday entertainment in 1897 Nashville, when the Parthenon was just erected and cotton candy was becoming all the rage!

Even if you've seen this audience favorite many times you won't want to miss this splendid new Nutcracker. The entire family will want to enjoy this delightful new rendition of the world's most popular ballet, complete with mice and toy soldiers come-to-life, the menacing Rat King, the heroic Nutcracker Prince, innocent young Clara and the dozens of fantastic characters who carry her through a fantasy of snow and ice, grandiose gardens, and a magical land of sweets and treats.

The new Nashville Ballet Nutcracker is sure to be the hottest ticket in town, and only subscribers get the very best seats - plus the opportunity to order additional tickets before public sale.
