Huntsville Ballet’s version of the classic hits the stage this week at the Von Braun Center’s Mark C. Smith Concert Hall.
A scene from Act 2 of Huntsville Ballet's performance of The Nutcracker in 2021. That’s how Huntsville Ballet Company Artistic Director Phillip Otto views the holiday classic.
Performances are scheduled for Friday through Sunday. Show times will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday; at 2 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday; and at 1 p.m. Sunday. The performance is a telling of the story of mysterious godfather Drosselmeyer and his gift to a girl named Clara of a nutcracker that transforms into a prince for a midnight battle between toy soldiers and large mice – and their journey to the Land of Sweets.The production features Huntsville Ballet’s entire roster of professional dancers, complemented by a cast of 80-plus students from Huntsville Ballet School and adult volunteers from the community.
The production’s highlights include a growing Christmas tree, an onstage blizzard of snowflakes, dancing flowers and Mother Ginger’s iconic skirt.
