The Nutcracker
Sunday 06 November 2011
St Helens Theatre Royal
VIENNA FESTIVAL BALLET PRESENTS
THE NUTCRACKER
Choreography by Sheila Styles (Sadler�s Wells Royal Ballet).
The highly acclaimed Vienna Festival Ballet Company will Jeté into St Helens with Tchaikovsky�s world famous classical ballet The Nutcracker, which comes to the Theatre Royal on Sun 6 November for just one performance only.
The enchanting tale of The Nutcracker is one of the best-loved ballets of all time. Based on Alexander Dumas Père�s The Nutcracker of Nuremberg, which was an adaptation of an earlier story by E.T.A. Hoffmann called The Nutcracker and The Mouse King, it premiered at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia, on December 17, 1892. The Story of The Nutcracker focuses on Clara and her nutcracker doll, which magically transforms into a princely soldier. Their adventures see the Prince and Clara combat the Mouse King and join the Sugar Plum Fairy for a wonderful trip to a Kingdom made entirely of sweets add in some dancing snowflakes and a Christmas tree that grows to spectacular heights and you end up with a charming ballet that is full of magic and colour.
This production of the heart-warming, traditional tale offers all the essential ingredients of ballet, glamorous costumes, beautiful sets and energetic performances by the dancers, backed to some of Tchaikovsky�s most beloved music, including �Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy� and �Waltz of the Snowflakes� in what will be a stunning production for all the family to enjoy.
Vienna Festival Ballet�s, the hugely experienced Austrian dancer and artistic director, Peter Mallek, has hand-picked a group of young, international, talented dancers for this production, giving each performance vivacity, energy and freshness.
Now in their 32nd year of producing quality ballet productions, the company continues to experience remarkable success and perform great classical ballets all over the world.
Returning by popular demand following several successful performances including Cinderella earlier this year, Vienna Festival Ballet�s The Nutcracker promises to be a delightful treat for everyone, a perfect way to start thinking about the festive season.
