Nashville's Nutcracker
Presented by:
December 9 - 23, 2012 at TPAC's Jackson Hall
with The Nashville Symphony
Music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Concept, Story Treatment and Choreography by Paul Vasterling
The beloved holiday tradition of Nashville’s Nutcracker returns to the stage with even more dancers and magical characters.
Set in Nashville, with local historic characters, Nashville’s Nutcracker takes young Clara on an enchanted adventure with her Nutcracker. Her visit to the Tennessee Centennial Exposition in 1897 is only the beginning of her magical journey through the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets.
“With enchanted toys, whimsical fairies and the glorious music of Tchaikovsky, it’s easy to lose yourself in the magic of Nashville’s Nutcracker. But thanks to the unique concept and vision of artistic director Paul Vasterling, Nashville Ballet ensures that we never lose sight of home,” said The Tennessean’s review of last year’s performance.
The Nashville Symphony performs Tchaikovsky’s famous score for Nashville Ballet’s fifth anniversary of its Nashville’s Nutcracker production.
